Duke has an Energy and Sustainability concentration now in their FT MBA program and TX is also a good school to check out, especially given their proximity to that industry. You have great academics, but your GMAT will be coming in a bit under average from your applicant pool, so make sure you focus on how you stand out amongst other applicants from the Indian applicant pool. I can already tell you that there are not many Oil and Gas applicants applying from India, so it's a good start. Also, applications are down overall, so it's a good year to give it a shot. By the way, didn't mean to imply that your GMAT is not good, it is a great score and well within range for top b-schools, it's just that you have to also consider that most schools will be stacking you up against other international applicants, and you need to give them a reason to pick you over someone else who may have a 750, but perhaps a less impressive experience.
