n: a reef or mound built by small organisms and their remains, such as coral, plankton, and oysters. Originally a waveresistant coral structure served as an anchor for calcareous debris that formed limestone. It was tectonically submerged, or the sea level rose faster than the corals could build it, and it was eventually buried beneath marine shales. A bioherm is often porous enough to hold large accumulations of hydrocarbons, especially if it has been dolomitized. A bioherm is a stratigraphic trap.

adj: containing or composed largely of calcium carbonate, or calcite (CaCO3)

a calcium carbonate coating.

n: dissolved calcium ions in sufficient concentration to impart undesirable properties, such as flocculation, reduction in yield of bentonite, and increased fluid loss, in a drilling fluid. See also anhydrite, calcium carbonate, calcium sulphate, gypsum, lime.

n: The process that calcium ion enters into the drilling fluid when drilling in the calcareous formation or cement plug.

n pi: single-celled, mostly microscopic animals with calcareous exoskeletons;mostly marine.
