Saratov. A round of planned special tactic trainings was held in December at hazardous facilities of OAO Saratovneftegaz (producing subsidiary of RussNeft).

Garant–Saratov management and employees, investigation police officers, traffic inspectors participated in the activities.
Besides, the training at Stepnovsky oil treatment facility of Levoberejny oil and gas production department in Sovietsky district involved the rapid response team of the neighboring Stepnovsky underground natural gas storage department (OOO Gazprom PKhG)to participate in deactivation of a trespasser having set “an explosive” at the facility. The fire-fighting brigade and vehicle of Stepnovsky underground natural gas storage department also took part in the training.
