Oil & Gas Products

Safe. Optimized. Predictable.

Austin Powder's Oil*Star Detonators are trusted in the Oil & Gas industry for perforating and other downhole operations.

Austin Powder’s Oil*Star Detonators deliver reliable, high-performance initiation for perforating gun systems. Engineered for precision timing, dependable ignition, and consistent results in demanding oil and gas environments.

INTRODUCTING OIL*STAR A-240

Surface Safety, Downhole Certainty

Oil Star A-240 is a Group II–compliant electric detonator built for today’s high-signal, high-risk wellsites—delivering Surface Safety. Downhole Certainty. Passive RF and ESD protection with no attachments needed, seamless compatibility with existing wireline tool systems, and reliable performance in high-shock environments up to 177°C (350°F), the A-240 meets the safety standards operators are increasingly requiring, not just preferring.

Improved Wellsite Safety

  • Full API RP 67 Group II compliance supports operator specs and HSE requirements that are becoming mandatory.

Reduces Wellsite Risk

  • Passive RF and ESD protection minimizes the chance of inadvertent initiation in high‑signal environments.

Built for Modern Operations

  • Designed to perform reliably where multiple transmitters, frequencies, and power levels are present.

Easy to Deploy

  • Fully compatible with existing wireline shooting systems—no equipment changes or retraining required.

Improves Operational Confidence

  • High circuit impedance and higher No-Fire Current allow wider verification current bandwidth during testing and rig-up, reducing uncertainty at the surface.

Delivers Dependable Downhole Performance

  • High temperature rating and robust ignitor design
    provide consistent initiation when it matters most.

EXPLORE OUR OIL*STAR FAMILY OF PRODUCTS

Oil*Star Detonator Family

Oil*Star Detonators are specialized electric detonators for wireline perforating and plug-setting operations, designed for high temperature and pressure environments.

Oil*Star Pressure Resistant Detonators

This family of detonators is used for applications where the detonator is exposed directly to the oil well environment.

Oil*Star Fluid Disabled Detonator

This family of detonators is used for applications where the detonator is protected from direct contact with the oil ­well environment. Their design enables them to withstand a high temperature environment.

Oil*Star Thermostable Detonator

This family of detonators are designed for use in the oil and gas industry for wireline-performed blasting operations (perforations).

Seismic Products

E*STAR Seismic electronic detonators have been designed to provide the precise control necessary to produce the most accurate and consistent seismic record.
