#India's #Energy #Maharatna #ONGC has taken a giant leap towards becoming a major Coal Bed Methane (#CBM) player in the exploration and production landscape.
On 16 July 2024, we achieved a milestone by charging CBM gas at @gailindia's Dispatch Terminal & Pipeline from GCS-Bokaro.
This is a significant step in contributing to Hon'ble Prime Minister @narendramodi's vision of a gas economy.

#ONGC is proud to stand alongside the nation in commemorating the success of the #UttarakhandTunnelRescue Operation. The resolute collective determination has fueled tireless operations, delivering hope and rescue to 41 trapped workers.

Strategically mobilizing all resources, ONGC was in all readiness for Option 5, which involved drilling from the hilltop. The #Energy #Maharatna stood ready and on standby, poised to implement this approach should other options face challenges.

With a shared purpose, we maintain optimism for a prompt and successful resolution to the ongoing rescue operation.

Elon Musk on the importance of First Principles thinking:

“I think people’s thinking process is too bound by convention or analogy to prior experiences. It’s rare that people try to think of something on a first principles basis. They’ll say, “We’ll do that because it’s always been done that way.” Or they’ll not do it because “Well, nobody’s ever done that, so it must not be good. But that’s just a ridiculous way to think. You have to build up the reasoning from the ground up—“from the first principles” is the phrase that’s used in physics. You look at the fundamentals and construct your reasoning from that, and then you see if you have a conclusion that works or doesn’t work, and it may or may not be different from what people have done in the past.

I think it’s important to reason from first principles rather than by analogy. So the normal way we conduct our lives is, we reason by analogy. We are doing this because it’s like something else that was done, or it is like what other people are doing… with slight iterations on a theme. And it’s … mentally easier to reason by analogy rather than from first principles. First principles is kind of a physics way of looking at the world, and what that really means is, you … boil things down to the most fundamental truths and say, “okay, what are we sure is true?” … and then reason up from there. That takes a lot more mental energy.

Somebody could say — and in fact people do — that battery packs are really expensive and that’s just the way they will always be because that’s the way they have been in the past. … Well, no, that’s pretty dumb… Because if you applied that reasoning to anything new, then you wouldn’t be able to ever get to that new thing…. you can’t say, … “oh, nobody wants a car because horses are great, and we’re used to them and they can eat grass and there’s lots of grass all over the place and … there’s no gasoline that people can buy….”

First principles thinking example about battery packs:

… they would say, “historically, it costs $600 per kilowatt-hour. And so it’s not going to be much better than that in the future. … So the first principles would be, … what are the material constituents of the batteries? What is the spot market value of the material constituents? … It’s got cobalt, nickel, aluminum, carbon, and some polymers for separation, and a steel can. So break that down on a material basis; if we bought that on a London Metal Exchange, what would each of these things cost? Oh, jeez, it’s … $80 per kilowatt-hour. So, clearly, you just need to think of clever ways to take those materials and combine them into the shape of a battery cell, and you can have batteries that are much, much cheaper than anyone realizes.”

#Hikeinfellowship60
@IndiaDST #NonNetFellowshipHike Everyone knows what the role of Indian researchers is, but it depends on our scientific leaders and how much priority they want to give to their contributions to research and development. It's very easy to say a few words like "innovative research" and "interdisciplinary,multidisciplinary," but the question is how much they are trying to implement these ideas while research scholars are still empty-handed so far @guptaakhilesh63 @mamidala90
