Ingénieur de l'extraction et du raffinage du pétrole (ou ingénieur géologue)


Explanation:
"Mud Logger - Despite its humble name this is a vital job that is normally filled by a highly trained Geologist who must know what rock formations are being drilled through. The mud logger looks out for the presence of hydrocarbons in the rock cuttings that are brought to the surface by the returning drilling mud and separated on the shale shakers. "
http://www.petroleum.co.uk/working.htm

"Les ingénieurs de l'extraction et du raffinage du pétrole réalisent des études qui se rapportent à l'exploration, à
la mise en valeur et à l'extraction des gisements de pétrole et de gaz. Ils planifient, conçoivent, élaborent et
supervisent des projets de forage, de complétion, d'analyse et de réexploitation de puits de pétrole et de gaz.
Ils font également l'analyse des réserves pétrolières et gazières et du potentiel de production. Ces ingénieurs
travaillent dans des sociétés productrices de pétrole ainsi que dans des entreprises et qui font de l'analyse ou
de la diagraphie de sondage des puits."

I have also seen the term "ingénieur géologue" used, even though technically, it means a much broader field of study than just petroleum. The advantage is that it is a shorter term.

For example:
" CURRICULUM VITAE INTERNATIONAL
Mud Logger Engineer
Ingénieur Géologue"
http://www.expat.org/offres/cv/osman.htm

I couldn't find anything equivalent in term to the English expression "mud logger" which is rather colourful.
