The Zurich Group has increased the capacity available to its Global Energy customers, moving its excess coverage limits from $100 million to $125 million for onshore property risks and for exploration and production risks.

Excess coverage limits for casualty exposures has also been moved up from $50 million to $75 million.

Head of Zurich's Global Energy division, Bob Golden, said, "This move underscores Global Energy's commitment to the worldwide energy market, and will significantly enhance our ability to serve the risk management needs of our large, multi-national energy customers.'' Zurich Global Energy was formed in 1995.
