The Gjøa reserves are estimated to be about 40 billion cubic metres of natural gas and 83 million barrels (13.2×10^6 m3) of oil and condensate.

It was developed by the consortium of Statoil, ENGIE, Petoro, Royal Dutch Shell and RWE Dea.

Gjøa is connected to the FLAGS pipeline through the 130-kilometre (81 mi) 28-inch (710 mm) link built by Saipem.

Oil is exported through the 55-kilometre (34 mi) 16-inch (410 mm) link to the Troll II trunkline, and onwards to the Mongstad Refinery north of Bergen.
