Gjøa
Gjøa is our first production operatorship on the Norwegian continental shelf.
The field has been developed through a joint operatorship with Statoil.
Gjøa is a gas field in the North Sea, 60 kilometres west of Florø. The reservoir sits on top of a thin oil rim, and contains an estimated 40 billion cubic metres of gas reserves.
Norsk Hydro discovered the field in 1989, and GDF SUEZ E&P Norge acquired a 30% interest in the field in 2003. In June 2007, Norwegian authorities approved the plan for development and operation of Gjøa, clearing the way for one of the largest offshore developments in Norway since Snøhvit and Ormen Lange.
