Starting from the launch of the unique Central Asia – Center gas transportation system (some 9,000 km) in 1967, Saratov actually turned into a gas distribution center. At present, Gazprom transgaz Saratov is dealing with transportation of gas produced in the Orenburg and Tyumen Oblasts, Turkmenia, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan to central Russia, North Caucasus, Ukraine and European countries.
