    Calcium Carbonate is an acid-soluble, bridging and weighting agent used in drilling, drill-in and workover / completion fluids. As a bridging agent and fluid loss additive, normal concentrations are in the 10 to 50 lb / bbl (29 to 143 kg / m3) range. Calcium Carbonate m and Calcium Carbonate C are generally used in fluid-loss-control situations requiring a larger particle size than Calcium Carbonate F.
