The application of horizontal well drilling and large-scale sand fracturing can secure an increased production in shale gas reservoirs despite
of frequent gas wellbore blockage. It is vital to remove the residual bridge plug debris and sand in wellbore cleaning operation and to ensure an
unblocked downhole production channel of shale gas well for a safe and smooth production process. In this paper, the current situations of the
wellbore cleaning technology for horizontal wells were analyzed, and the technical challenges in wellbore cleaning treatment of shale gas
horizontal wells were summarized. Based on global development of wellbore cleaning technologies for horizontal wells, technical researches
were carried out on cleaning tools & technologies and working flfluid performance, and cleaning treatment tools were studied and developed.
Besides, technical measures of cleaning treatment were put forward and their fifield application effects were analyzed. Results reveal that the
millingefifishing integrated tool, developed to treat large bore bridge plug, is capable of washing-over and fifishing out large bore bridge plug in
one trip after running in the hole; for long horizontal sections where back cyclone sand-washing tool is applied, the tool can prevent sand from
settling so as to flflush sand out of the wellbore; for normal-pressure and high-pressure wells, gas well backflflow flfluid, KCl and CaCl2 solution may
serve as working flfluid, while for low pressure wells, foam flfluid can be used; for low-pressure wells, the negative pressure fifishing tool is designed
and optimized to drive debris or sediment into the tool through forming local negative pressure adsorption, thus complete the fifishing operation.
In conclusion, the new wellbore cleaning technology, which suits shale-gas horizontal wells, has laid the groundwork for large-scale wellbore
cleaning treatment of shale gas wells.

Generally, I would run and set a liner hanger, and I would not make a scraper run, assuming the following:
New well
Inspected, drifted casing
The last operation on the well consisted of pulling out of the hole
