contents <p>This review looks at how wind power, one of the most efficient renewable energy sources, could be better used in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry, moving beyond what current research has covered. While studies from 2020 to 2024 have focused a lot on solar and hybrid systems, wind energy hasn’t been given much attention, especially for oil operations. Areas like powering offshore platforms, remote oil sites, and using wind power alongside carbon capture to cut emissions are still underexplored. There’s also not enough research on the technical constraints specific to Nigeria, such as connecting wind power to the existing grid and dealing with storage challenges. Asides that, the economic feasibility and the policies needed to support wind energy adoption in this sector haven’t been thoroughly analyzed. This review addresses these gaps by suggesting new ways to use wind power, such as offshore wind farms for oil operations, using wind energy to reduce gas flaring, and combining wind energy with carbon capture systems. It also emphasizes the importance of new policies and industry cooperation to tackle technical and financial obstacles. Ultimately, wind energy could play a big role in making Nigeria’s oil and gas industry more efficient and sustainable, opening up new opportunities for energy transition via this review.</p>
