Gjøa oilfield is an oilfield in the Norwegian section of the North Sea. It lies about 70 kilometres (43 mi) off the Troll field.

The Gjøa reserves are estimated to be about 40 billion cubic metres of

condensate.[1]

The oil field was discovered in 1989 and the development was announced in December 2006. It was developed by the consortium of

RWE Dea. During the development phase, the operator of the field was Statoil. Once production began in 2010 ENGIE took over the operatorship. The field came on stream in November 2010, and it reached plateau production in 2013.[2] The total investment is about 27 billion Norwegian kroners.[1] In 2018 A/S Norske Shell sold its interest to Norwegian SA OKEA.[3]
