Have you tried any consulting firms? I had the same quals as you coming out of grad school and had no problem.

So you think 5 years of lab work and a masters degree in environmental science should get you an oilfield job? wtf indeed...

You should have no problems getting into consulting. Are you dropping off resumes?

If you don't have practical knowledge of the O&G field, you are not going to get much interest
If you want to get in the O&G from the environmental side, you need experience in air permitting, water quality, risk, and HSE.
Lab work don't mean shite. Sorry.
I've been in consulting for almost 8 years and still cannot crack into the O&G field.
