Abstract

Assemblies that can be disposed in a subterranean bore. An assembly can include a body with an opening in a wall of the body. A sleeve can be disposed exterior to the body at the opening. The sleeve can be made from material such as carbon fiber that can withstand at least some pressures and forces present in the subterranean environment and reduce a diameter of the body and sleeve. The assembly may also include an inner sleeve and/or an inner string that can isolate the sleeve from certain pressures and forces.
