PROPERTY INCLUDED • Offshore/Onshore – E&P Upstream • - Rigs/FPSOs/FSOs/FPUs etc • - Platforms • - Pipelines • - Oil sands • - Storage & offloading systems • Onshore – Midstream/Downstream • - Refineries, petrochemical plants etc. • - Loading terminals, tank farms • - Power Stations, wind farms • - Gas plants, transmission stations
DATABASE INFORMATION • Only for losses of US$1,000,000 or more at time of loss • Information captured is from 1972 to date • All amounts shown in US$ exchanged at date of loss rate of exchange • Property related losses – no liability in isolation • Amounts relate to PD, OEE (cost of control etc.) and BI • Contains 9,000 individual records with an aggregate time of loss value greater than US$148 billion (>US$198 billion indexed) • Except for BI this is a loss database not an insurance database therefore PD, OEE & S&P costs are for 100% interest FGU on the basis of no deductible and no limit – the incident does not have to have been insured but it does have to have been insurable
PURPOSE OF DATABASE • To assist in the evaluation and review of current and future insurance strategies – both buying and selling, direct and reinsurance • To help understand the dynamics between losses and pricing • To provide activity profiles and market share analyses for contributing Loss Adjusters • Subscribed to by oil companies, insurers/reinsurers and major brokers • Used by academic establishments – forms part of the “Energy Insurance and Risk Management” course run by the Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston

REPORT EXAMPLE 1: An independent oil company operating only onshore USA wishes to review their current OEE limits of $5M. What can the database tell them about the adequacy of their OEE limit in light of industry experience? Database search criteria: Country = USA, Land/Offshore = Land, Loss Type = OEE
To download into Excel just click here We will now look at 2 other reports with the same data set – firstly by location
To download into Excel just click here And secondly by cost category (using indexed as we are looking at + 30 years of data)
This tells us: • An OEE limit of $5M would have been adequate for 467/711 or 66% of known OEE losses excess of $1M • Increasing the OEE limit to $10M would account for 605/711 or 85% and so on…
REPORT EXAMPLE 2: Analysis of European refinery losses since 1990 based on frequency and severity excluding the causes of earthquake and subsidence Database search criteria: Year of Loss = 1990 to 2010, Area = Europe, Subcategory = Refinery, Cause = all (excluding earthquake and subsidence/landslide)
REPORT EXAMPLE 3: A comparison of offshore pipeline losses in both the construction and operating phases in four different areas of the world. As this coverage is usually purchased on a limit rather than value basis, what is the industry experience of loss severity?
OFFSHORE PIPELINE LOSSES BY CLAIM AMOUNT This shows where 90% of the losses reside
