'quality of oil? blasting' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'of us county will secure it' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates an anagram (the answer comes from or 'of' the letters).
'will secure' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are secured).
'us'+'county'='uscounty'
'uscounty' with letters rearranged gives 'unctuosy'.
'unctuosy' going around 'it' is 'UNCTUOSITY'.
