The energy industry has never been more central on the world stage. Fundamental shifts of ownership, wealth, risk and commodity price are being driven by the imbalance between global supply and demand. Amidst this turbulent environment, emerge new risks and opportunities.


Energy - Oil & Gas

Marsh’s Energy Practice is at the forefront of advising energy companies on risk and insurance issues affecting operational success. Worldwide, our 300 plus professionals are primarily organised around two speciality product lines; upstream energy, and downstream energy, offering a deep understanding of industry issues within these segments. This wealth of expert knowledge is augmented by market leading risk engineering, project risk management, and claims services.

These solutions come from our access to, and relationships with, global insurance markets in London, Continental Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. By leveraging global market capacity, we can deliver optimum terms and conditions to our clients.

In Australia, our team of local experts provide risk and insurance advise to over 30 oil and gas clients both nationally an internationally, including companies involved in:

  • Onshore and offshore exploration
  • Oil and gas production, supply and distribution
  • CSG/CBM exploration and production
  • Hot rock and geothermal drilling
  • LNG plants

  • Onshore and offshore pipelines
  • Contracting to the oil and gas industry
