Energy Insurance

Zurich has the underwriting and risk engineering know-how to tailor the right insurance for clients across a range of segments within the onshore energy industry.

Flexible risk appetite across many segments 

The energy industry is one of the most volatile in terms of hazards and business risks. Australia is seen as one of the five major global energy hubs – alongside London, Singapore, Dubai and North America.
