WELL

What WELL does

WELL (Worldwide Energy Logistics Limited) is a UK-headquartered, privately held project logistics specialist serving the energy, oil and gas, infrastructure, and industrial manufacturing sectors. Founded in 2004 by partners with experience dating to the 2001 DSS-20 Caspian rig transport, the company coordinates international multi-modal movements (air, sea, road, rail, inland waterway) for oversized, out-of-gauge, and hazardous cargo through a single point of responsibility. Documented landmark projects include the BTC and SCP pipeline material movements in Georgia and Azerbaijan (200,000+ CBM of nonstandard cargo), the Keppel Fels drilling rig transport from Singapore to the Caspian in 49 days with zero lost-time incidents, and a 6,194-nautical-mile Atlantic wet tow of an offshore platform.

The company operates through 12 owned offices spanning the United Kingdom, United States, Georgia, the UAE, Afghanistan, Iraq, Oman, Turkiye, Angola, Libya, Nigeria, and Tunisia, with locally incorporated entities in the larger markets enabling in-country execution that most competitors deliver only through agents. Its service portfolio is organised into four lines: Freight Services (multi-modal forwarding), Freight Solutions (heavy lift, aircraft and vessel chartering, hazardous cargo), Logistics Management (project, customs, supply chain, ships agency, crew changes), and Contract Logistics (warehousing, packing, expediting, procurement). It holds ISO 9001/14001/45001 certification, BIFA membership, TRACE anti-bribery certification, and UK HMRC Authorised Economic Operator status (Certificate No. GB/AEOF/00020/07), one of the earliest UK logistics firms to be so accredited.

WELL monetises through bespoke, quote-based project contracts and managed service agreements, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. Its go-to-market is consultative enterprise field sales targeting IOC, NOC, EPC, and infrastructure owners, supplemented by a website-based Request a Quote flow. Revenue is generated primarily in the Energy, Oil and Gas vertical, with secondary exposure to Infrastructure, Industrial Manufacturing, and Telecommunications. The business is founder/management-controlled with no disclosed venture capital or private equity involvement, and the company employs between 251 and 500 people globally. A sister-company relationship with GPS (Global Projects Services) extends its reach into Supply Base Management for upstream oil and gas clients.

• DB Schenker Project Logistics: Global forwarder with established project logistics capability serving oil and gas, renewables, and infrastructure. Larger portfolio competitor but with similar capability profile for oversized and breakbulk cargo.
