Specialized insurance for oil & gas welders
Welders working in oil & gas environments face additional operational and contractual complexities. From upstream sites and facilities to pipeline, maintenance, and shutdown work, oil & gas welding often involves higher limits, specialized coverage, and strict contract requirements.
Westland’s advisors have deep experience supporting oil & gas welding contractors. We understand the expectations placed on welders in this sector and work with our insurance markets to secure appropriate coverage—while delivering a smooth, streamlined experience from quote to certificates.
