Summary
Aleksey Barykin is a mechanical engineer and physicist with 12+ years designing, modeling, and qualifying tubing-conveyed perforating (TCP) systems, shaped charges, firing heads, and energetics for SLB/Schlumberger. He combines deep FEA and combustion-physics expertise with hands-on mechanical design to accelerate development and commercialization of perforating guns used in land markets across North America. His work includes leading teams that brought HEGS II gun systems and multiple UltraPerf charge families from concept to market. Trained as a Ph.D. physicist from MEPhI, he blends rigorous research experience in explosive processes with practical product development and qualification testing. Based in Rosharon, Texas, he is known for translating complex physics into robust, field-ready solutions that improve downhole performance and reliability. An often-overlooked strength is his track record in both fundamental combustion modeling and the end-to-end engineering needed to industrialize energetic downhole tools.
