An Update on US Energy Policy Since November 2025 and Current Geopolitical Issues Affecting the Energy Space
At Onshore Energy Conference 2025, HML discussed the changing United States political landscape and its impacts on insurance markets. The 2026 Onshore Energy Conference presentation with George Lugrin and Matt Jett will not only include updates to last year’s 2025 presentation, but also discussions regarding current geopolitical events and issues impacting insurance markets. To quote Donald Trump, this session should be something “like the likes of which nobody has ever seen before"

Running Hot: How Record Margins Are Fuelling Major Losses in the Refining Segment
Refinery margins have surged to their highest levels in a decade and plants worldwide are running harder to capture them. However, behind this success sits a growing risk: rising utilisation, ageing, more complex assets and stretched operational discipline are combining to drive some of the costliest refinery losses in a generation. Drawing on decades of Liberty’s loss data and market intelligence, this talk shows the hidden trade-off between margin and asset integrity and what operators, insurers, brokers and risk managers need to do about it.

Paddy Lisulo
UK & MENA Risk Engineering Manager, Liberty Specialty Markets
