Amwins' AFE Protect insurance product (formerly Increased Cost of Drilling and/or Completion (ICDC)) offers clients a first-of-its-kind insurance solution for land-based oil and gas lease operators responsible for drilling unconventional wells across the U.S.  The program was developed in partnership with market leaders at Lloyd's of London.
