First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A fracturing system comprising: a fracturing sleeve having an opening sleeve and a closing sleeve, the closing sleeve having a collapsible seat; a sand screen spaced from the fracturing sleeve and disposed in a same zone as the frac sleeve, the screen including a screen sleeve having a collapsible seat, the screen seat complementary to a plug that is complementary to the closing sleeve collapsible seat. 2. The fracturing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the closing sleeve is fluid permeable. 3. The fracturing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the closing sleeve comprises radial openings. 4. The fracturing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the closing sleeve comprises radial slots. 5. The fracturing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the sand screen is a number of spaced apart sand screens. 6. The fracturing system as claimed in claim 5 wherein the spaced apart sand screens are all actuable by a same plug. 7. The fracturing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the sand screen includes a surge protector. 8. The fracturing system as claimed in claim 7 wherein the surge protector is an inflow control device. 9. The fracturing system as claimed in claim 1 wherein the opening sleeve and the closing sleeve are actuable by distinct plugs, at least one of which is not complementary to one of the opening sleeve and the closing sleeve. 10. A method for fracturing comprising: running a plug to an opening sleeve of a fracturing system as claimed in claim 1 ; fracturing a formation through the fracturing system; running a second plug; shifting with the second plug the screen sleeve; and shifting with the second plug the closing sleeve. 11. The method as claimed in claim 10 wherein the shifting of the screen sleeve includes collapsing the seat of the screen sleeve. 12. The method as claimed in claim 10 wherein the shifting of the closing sleeve includes collapsing the seat of the closing sleeve.
