Abstract
Assemblies that can be disposed in a subterranean bore are described. 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.

An assembly capable of being disposed in a bore, the assembly comprising:
- a body comprising a wall having an opening in a portion thereof;
- a first sleeve disposed exterior to the body, at least part of the first sleeve being adjacent to the opening and being made from at least one fiber material and from a support material, wherein the first sleeve is configured to cooperate with the body to provide a pressure seal between an inner area of the body and an environment exterior to the body;
- and
- a component capable of carrying torque from a first end of the assembly to a second end of the assembly.
