A fail-safe tubular receiving member for use in combination with a latch assembly to longitudinally support and rotationally orient the latch assembly in a wellbore. The latch assembly includes at least one outwardly biased, radially movable latch member which is receivable within a bore of the receiving member. A first recessed area and a second recessed area, accessible from the first recessed area, are defined by the bore. The first recessed area defines a first increased radial distance and is configured so that upon longitudinal alignment of the latch member and the first recessed area, the latch member moves radially outward for receipt in the first recessed area to support the latch assembly longitudinally such that longitudinal movement of the latch assembly relative to the receiving member further downhole is prevented. The second recessed area defines a second increased radial distance, greater than the first increased radial distance, and is configured so that upon rotational alignment of the latch member and the second recessed area, the latch member moves radially outward for receipt in the second recessed area to orient the latch assembly rotationally such that rotation of the latch assembly relative to the receiving member is inhibited.
