VACS G2, VACS FLO,
and TT VACS Systems
Get unmatched debris collection per
trip with a modular design
Our vectored annular cleaning system
(VACS™) G2 technology captures debris
downhole and transports it to the surface,
delivering clean wellbores for trouble-free
operations. Built on field-proven VACS
technology that has gained a solid reputation
over more than a decade, this new modular
design offers enhanced performance and
ease of handling, saving time and lowering
risk, particularly in deepwater applications.
As fluid flows through the jet nozzles, the
VACS G2 system and VACS FLO jet engine
produce increased suction pressure at the
base of the tool, capturing fines, coarse
debris, and junk in the tool basket. The
VACS G2 system and FLO engine have been
optimized to provide increased reliability and
performance during a variety of operations,
including post-perforating runs, sump packer
cleaning, packer and bridge plug retrieval,
and junk retrieval in both open- and cased-
hole wells.
The thru-tubing (TT) VACS enables the
removal of sands in completions and small
liners, removing unmatched quantities of
sand to surface in a single trip.

Improvements in the VACS G2 system
include significant changes to reduce rig
handling procedures. Each module can be
manipulated by standard rig elevators. These
simplified handling processes eliminate
many potential operational, safety, and
environmental risks. And the modular
design reduces nonproductive time (NPT)
by eliminating special rigging requirements.
Modules can easily be added for increased
debris recovery, giving you the flexibility to
use a single solution across a broad range
of applications.
The new VACS G2 system is ideal for
deepwater applications where minimizing
NPT and improving operational reliability
is essential to profitability, and also in
applications that demand efficiency and
cost controls.

Hughes, a GE company, today to learn more
about how VACS technology can help you
perform reliable, cost-efficient cleanouts.
