  Energy

Halfway around the world, an offshore production unit is delivering much-needed hydrocarbon resources to meet the growing demand for energy. From the drillship that drilled the discovery well in the ultra-deepwaters to the platform and pipeline systems that process and transport the resources to an onshore refinery, the Wortham Group developed all of the insurance and coverage products for this multimillion-dollar energy development project.


For over 80 years, the Wortham Group has met the comprehensive insurance and risk management needs of upstream, midstream, and downstream energy companies, petrochemical firms, and oilfield service companies operating in the U.S. and overseas. Given the dynamic market and geopolitical forces that can affect these businesses, our team of seasoned professionals brings a strategic planning approach to each client’s issues. The Wortham Group has created insurance programs and integrated risk management solutions for projects and exposures in every petroleum-producing region of the world. In fact, our energy professionals have helped to pioneer many niche insurance services and coverages for the oil and gas industries that are used throughout the insurance field.

In the downstream sector, petrochemical and specialty chemical companies have utilized Wortham’s expertise for decades. For example, the Wortham Group has been at the forefront of developing risk management strategies for this important industry from the formation of insurance companies to risk purchasing groups.

We support our energy clients’ strategic growth plans as they expand their operations to new markets around the world. Our energy professionals are highly experienced in tackling foreign insurance requirements and placing admitted insurance programs that meet local mandates.

As an independent insurance broker, our team is unhampered in seeking the best underwriting providers and markets to carefully meet our clients’ needs. We draw upon the Wortham Group’s solid reputation in the international insurance markets to help guide clients in securing the highest quality coverages for their operations.
