Carrier Perspectives of the Energy Marketplace

Devastating oil spills. Fracking. Wildly fluctuating gas prices. An increase in environmental regulations and lawsuits. The energy business has gotten a tremendous amount of publicity and analysis over the last several years, and much of this attention has impacted the way consumers―and insurance companies―view demand, accountability, and the practices of energy companies.

"There are very few industries where the value of the end product is watched as closely as the cost of a barrel of oil, or ones where a fluctuation of a few dollars can send pundits into a frenzy predicting the demise of the industry."
— Bill Pritchard, President & CEO of Beacon Hill Associates, Inc.
