Many re-entry guides are engineered with a "saw-tooth" or "mule tooth" profile on the bottom edge. This aggressive, serrated design is a key functional feature.

Its primary purpose is to break up debris, scale, or sediment that may have settled in the wellbore. As the tubing string is lowered, the saw-tooth edge acts as a milling surface, clearing the path and minimizing the risk of blockages. This ensures the tubing string can reach its target depth and that components like packers can seat correctly.

Re-Entry Guides are fundamental to almost all oil, gas, and CSG/CMB well completions. They are especially critical in:

• Deviated or Horizontal Wells: Where guiding the tubing string is essential.

• Re-entry Operations: When running tubing back into a well after a workover.

• Wells with Debris: Where the saw-tooth profile is necessary to clear obstructions.

Together with standard tubing couplings, these components ensure the tubing can be properly connected, guided, and landed, protecting the integrity of your well completion.
