President’s Message
Strategic plan execution, which included product line diversification,
has been the pillar of Oil Casualty Insurance, Ltd.’s methodical approach
to growth. 2013 was a record setting year for OCIL in both premiums
written and shareholders’ equity. The Company continued to expand
and develop its core businesses, with unceasing focus and dedication
to the energy industry remaining at the forefront.

Robert D. Stauffer
PRESIDENT & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
ANNUAL REPORT 2013 PG. 3

Seven years ago, OCIL developed a strategic


business plan to achieve greater diversification
and scale. As I reflect on 2013, it is gratifying to
witness the individual building blocks of OCIL’s
strategic business plan come together – meeting
our goals and objectives while celebrating our
accomplishments.
