| Abstract | The development of Chemical EOR (C-EOR) projects is on fast pace, led by the necessity to increase the final recovery of mature field and to speed up exploitation of newly developed reservoirs. This development is also driven by the improvement of the chemicals involved in those practices in terms of resistance to salinity, temperature, viscosity... and the deployment of specifically designed equipment to fit with most of injection conditions. Research and development dedicated to C-EOR technologies is one of major interest for off-shore applications as all challenges are concentrated, ranging from additional criteria for polymer type and form selection, new design constrains in terms of available foot-print, acceptable load, mechanical resistance, modularity, ... and enhanced supply chain criticality. This didactic paper aims at reminding all those specificities to be considered to fully assess project feasibility and anticipate properly preliminary budget parameters.
