Overall your work experience will make for some interesting leadership stories and career progression. The work at your refineries is challenging and intense- it requires quick decision making, taking responsibility voluntarily and scope to lead others - senior managers as well as the lower staff. Deeply mine your stories relevant for an MBA application and present an impressive picture to the adcom.
Ae you doing any volunteering / CSR related work? Your college extra-circulars are a little dated now, so having something fresh to offer on the table will be a favourable thing. If there are activities where you can get involved within the township/the factory campus, it will help. This could be related to both/either community building / CSR.
An MBA is a good idea, however, you will need clarity on your career goals and why MBA. Easy as this may sound, a good number of applicants do not articulate their career goals well enough, so pay a lot of thought and consideration to this most important element of your application.
