Abstract:
A technique facilitates latching of a tool in a desired alignment within a tubing string. The tubing string comprises a latching section designed to latch the tool in a specific orientation. The latching section comprises a plurality of mounting regions designed to receive a plurality of profile inserts which are releasably engaged and interchangeable. The profile inserts may be arranged to create a key profile for engagement with a corresponding key associated with the tool. However, the profile inserts may be interchanged to change the key profile. Additionally, different combinations of profile inserts may be used to create different key profiles from one latching section to the next in tubing strings with more than one latching section.
