Energy P&C Insurance — Victor O. Schinnerer & Company, Inc.
Energy P&C is Victor O. Schinnerer & Company, Inc.’s admitted property & casualty program for energy and utility risks. Underwritten through Arch Insurance Company and administered by Schinnerer as the managing general underwriter, this program bundles core commercial lines tailored for oil, gas and pipeline exposures. Package policies are available to simplify placement for accounts that need multiple coverages under a single policy form.
Program coverages
Auto (fleet and contractor vehicles)
General liability
Crime
Property (locations, leasehold, equipment)
Inland marine (mobile equipment, tools, materials in transit)
Excess liability
Ideal accounts and appetite
This program targets energy-sector operations where admitted placements and a coordinated package are important. Typical fits include:
Upstream and midstream oil & gas operators with owned or leased well sites and related equipment
Pipeline operations — operators, maintenance contractors and right-of-way exposures
Schinnerer’s underwriting focus favors accounts with documented safety programs, routine maintenance records, and clear operational controls. The program is best suited for small to mid-sized operators and contractors whose exposures match the product lines above. Accounts with unusually large environmental liabilities, unresolved regulatory actions, or highly speculative operations may require referral or differenced terms.
Coverage highlights and advantages
Admitted paper (see availability below) with broad form property and GL options designed for energy operations

Underwriting notes
When submitting, provide:
