Abstract
An apparatus and technique for use in spacing out tubular strings within a well includes a casing that has an inner wall and at least one profile that is disposed within the inner wall. A tubing hanger is attached to the well tubing and if capable of landing within a target location, such as a wellhead.

A landing tool is linked to well tubing and is sized so as to seat within the profile.
