Minimum Information Request for Risk Assessments
25th June 2026
The JNRC Survey and Engineering Sub-Committee has published two new Risk Engineering focussed Information Request Guidance documents:
- JNR 2026-007 Minimum Information Request for Risk Assessments (Upstream Energy)
- JNR 2026-005 Minimum Information Request for Risk Assessments (Offshore Renewables)
The documents are available under Technical Documents on the JNRC Survey and Engineering Sub-Committee webpage.
Both documents aim to assist in the identification of key information requirements to allow underwriters and their risk engineers to better technically assess presented risks, in turn improving the quality of timeous underwriting decisions for the benefit of all parties.
JNR 2026-007 was originally published by the Forum of Offshore Risk Engineers (FORE), and has now with FORE’s permission been updated and hosted on the JNRC Survey and Engineering webpage for wider public access. In addition to the key phases of a typical upstream construction project, the document also covers basic well review requirements (albeit noting more comprehensive guidance is available under JR 2018-012 Well Review Guideline), and also basic requirements for associated midstream/downstream projects.
JNR 2026-005 has not been publicly shared before, and focuses primarily on the key information requirements for construction and operational offshore wind renewables projects (both fixed and floating), and for completeness also provides for constructional and operational key information requirements for onshore renewables – wind, solar (PV & CSP) & BESS.
All LMA and IUA model documents are purely illustrative and are published and distributed for the guidance of underwriters, brokers and other market participants. All contracting parties are free to agree to different conditions/amend the model documents as they see fit; the LMA and IUA do not protect their intellectual property rights over model documents. It is for underwriters to decide whether or not any contractual language is acceptable on any given risk.
