Resource Extraction Liability Coverage
Resource Extraction Liability Insurance protects organizations involved in mining, oil and gas, quarrying, forestry, drilling, and natural resource operations against the environmental, operational, and third-party liability exposures associated with extraction, exploration, processing, and site activities.
Coverage is designed to support financial stability and operational continuity when extraction activities result in bodily injury, property damage, environmental impairment, or operational disruption.
Coverage typically responds to claims involving pollution incidents, environmental damage, ground disturbance, equipment operations, transportation exposures, site accidents, or third-party liability arising from resource extraction and related industrial activities.
Coverage may also include protection for:
Third-party bodily injury and property damage claims
Pollution and environmental liability exposures
Land disturbance, subsidence, and site restoration obligations
Transportation, drilling, and heavy equipment-related incidents
Legal defense costs, investigations, settlements, and regulatory proceedings
Coverage supporting mining, energy, forestry, quarrying, and industrial extraction operations
For organizations operating across multiple jurisdictions, coverage may be coordinated through a Controlled Master Program (CMP), such as the WMB Global Risks Global Master Program, with locally admitted policies where required to support coordinated protection and regulatory compliance across jurisdictions.
Resource Extraction Liability Insurance is designed to help organizations manage complex operational and environmental risks, protect financial stability, and maintain continuity across resource extraction and industrial operations.
