Can anyone translate mud rotary drilling en French. Thanks☺

Correct drill mud pumping rates need to be maintained during mud rotary drilling to ensure optimal wear and tear rates of the drilling equipment and borehole stability while minimizing swelling clays, sidewall collapse and drill string blockage by clay lumps.

forage rotary à la boue


Explanation:
cf. https://www.icrc.org/fre/assets/files/publications/icrc-001-...
"Cet ouvrage se concentre sur le forage rotary à la boue et à l’air, car ce sont les méthodes de forage les plus souvent utilisées sur le terrain."

Rotary = appareil ou partie de l'appareil utilisé dans le forage par rotation.
