Many oilfield service companies assume “pollution” means catastrophic spills, but even minor
leaks can trigger costly cleanup and uninsured claims.

The Pitfall: General liability policies almost always exclude pollution—sometimes even for
small releases like hydraulic fluid or produced water. Without a dedicated pollution liability
policy, your company could be forced to pay for remediation out of pocket.

The Fix: Secure a standalone pollution liability policy or add an oilfield pollution endorsement
to your existing coverage. These policies can cover cleanup, third-party bodily injury, property
damage, and defense costs.

Cost Consideration: Pollution policies are often more affordable than owners expect—especially compared to the financial devastation of an uncovered claim.

Takeaway: Pollution liability isn’t just for major operators—it’s for any company handling
fluids, chemicals, or equipment that can cause contamination. The pitfall is assuming small
incidents won’t matter; the fix is protecting yourself before they do.
