Asset Values Guidelines
In this section the Upstream Property Values and Value Maintenance Guideline provides an overview of Upstream Property Values, and aims to assist Underwriters to have an informed opinion as regards the accuracy and acceptability of property values presented as part of an Offshore Operational placement.
The JNRC publishes an educational resource designed to raise greater awareness of major upstream energy losses and incidents. These lessons learned initiative aims to:
The LON provides a technical focus, and as such are not intended to be a claims resource.
