This work shows an analysis of the technique of carbon dioxide injection into saline aquifers with the purpose of discharge and storage. The final goal was to obtain the features of the aquifer, and of the injection process, to be selected in order to make the amount of stored CO2 higher and the injection time smaller. Considering such objective it was initially done a bibliography revision about the available lab data of the CO2 and water properties. It was also surveyed information about the natural CO2 fields that can be applied as analogous into the geological storage of such gas, and it was surveyed important information about the conditions considered suitable to the technique highlighted here and about numerical simulation studies. Then, with all the information surveyed on the previous works and, after validation of the fluid model to the lab data, it was set the process variables to be analyzed and a methodology was built for the study. The procedure consisted in establishing the assumptions to be applied on the numerical simulation of the base case and in generating the derived scenarios. By that way, it was required a change in each of the following properties, individually: salinity, depth, horizontal permeability, relation between vertical and horizontal permeabilities, injection rate, porosity and residual water saturation. Finally, it was applied the criterion set with the proposed methodology in order to compare the simulation results and it was concluded that, following the adopted assumptions, the most important features which allowed the storage of a higher amount of CO2 and a lower injection time, were in a decreasing order: higher injection rate, higher horizontal permeability and lower depth for the injection.
