Services for well control incidents are available 24/7, provided by Wild Well Control, Inc. There are no restrictions on how often you can call. The goal is to help prevent well control incidents from escalating into catastrophic events.
First sign of trouble endorsement
This provides reimbursement for hiring Wild Well Control, Inc. to help manage well pressure control incidents and prevent a well out-of-control event. Travelers may reimburse your company for up to $25,000 of the costs you incur for Wild Well Control on-site assistance with hazardous pressure control incidents at an insured well. Your well site personnel can get valuable, immediate assistance without worrying about costs up to the aforementioned amount.
EnergyPro Care, Custody and Control Broadening Endorsement
This endorsement provides protection for physical loss of or damage to specified types of non-owned oil or gas field equipment at the site of, or while it is in transit to or from, an insured well. This covers the insured's legal or contractual liability, which the insured has assumed responsibility for under a written contract, including rental or lease agreements.
EnergyPro Limited Pay on Behalf of (POBO) Provision
This optional endorsement protects the operator's working capital from being diverted to fund a control of well loss. For qualifying insureds, this endorsement allows Travelers to pay covered well control losses, costs or expenses directly to a vendor or other third party. Without this endorsement, you would pay those amounts first and then seek reimbursement from Travelers for the covered loss.
Travelers is proud to work with Wild Well Control Inc., a well control provider and training resource, and encourages all of our control of well clients to execute a call-off master service agreement (MSA) with Wild Well Control in the event of a well control incident or other service needs.

Non-admitted coverage is offered by St. Paul Surplus Lines Insurance Company (St. Paul Fire & Casualty Insurance Company in Delaware) through selected surplus lines brokers. Surplus lines insurers do not participate in state guaranty funds and therefore insureds are not protected by such funds.
