This chapter discusses carbon dioxide (CO2) injection technology in underground geological formations. Underground fluid injection activities across a range of industrial applications are briefly presented with emphasis on natural gas storage and deep injection of acid gas as background information. A review of the technology surrounding the injection of fluids in general is illustrated together with the major reservoir parameters which control the injectivity of CO2. The injection of CO2 in different storage formations is also presented, including the hydro-mechanical impact of CO2 injection. other key topics addressed include CO2 injection field operations, well integrity and monitoring technologies for injection well integrity.
