Saratov. OAO Saratovneftegas, a subsidiary production enterprise of OAO NK RussNeft, continues the implementation of a program to ensure a reliable fire protection of its production facilities. In order to organize their own fire posts at commercial raw material base “Smorodinka” (Prelyubskiy district) and Oil treatment facility “Zapadno-Rybushanskiy”b(Lysogorsky district), the enterprise has purchased 2 off-road vehicle firefighters AZ-3.2 at a total cost of 5 million rubles.

Also at subdivisions of OAO Saratovneftegas regular training and prevention measures are regularly held with the aim to check the level of employees’ training with cooperation with relevant services in non-standard situations pushed close to real ones.
