Abstract: A frac sleeve system includes a well casing with a tubular wall having a frac port defined therethrough for hydraulic fracturing. A sleeve within the well casing includes a sleeve body. The sleeve is mounted for axial movement relative to the tubular wall of the well casing among three positions including: a closed position in which the sleeve body blocks the frac port, a frac position in which the sleeve body clears the frac port so the frac port is open for hydraulic fracturing therethrough, and a production position in which the sleeve at least partially blocks the frac port.

Abstract: A magnet shield for use with a magnetic scale inhibitor includes a barrier configured for positioning at a location between the magnetic scale inhibitor and a flowbore for at least a first time period. The flowbore is configured for flow of a fluid. The barrier is: degradable in the fluid, such that, after the first time period, the barrier is no longer present at the location; and/or shiftable, such that, after the first time period, the barrier can be shifted away from the location. During the first time period, the barrier reduces or eliminates attraction of ferromagnetic particles to magnets of the magnetic scale inhibitor. A magnetic scale inhibitor assembly comprising the magnet shield and a methods of utilizing the magnet shield and the magnetic scale inhibitor assembly comprising the magnet shield are also provided herein.
