The gasification of the Orenburg region began during the Great Patriotic War. Then, in 1941-1942, the Council of People's Commissars, many people's commissariats, the diplomatic corps, as well as a number of large industrial enterprises were evacuated to Kuibyshev. The power capacity of the Kuibyshev coal-fired thermal power plant, which existed at that time, was not enough. And then the People's Commissariat of Defense made a historic decision: to lay a 165-kilometer gas pipeline from the then widely developed Buguruslan fields to Kuibyshev, which badly needed heat and electricity. Residents of Buguruslan were among the first in the huge Soviet Union to receive natural gas in their homes. 55 houses on Proletarskaya Street were gasified in 1942 with associated gas from oil well No. 1, drilled by foreman V.P. Volkov back in 1937, almost at the very end of Pionerskaya Street. The Buguruslan-Kuibyshev gas pipeline was commissioned in June 1943. The order to start its construction signed by I. Stalin was declassified by the efforts of the manager of the Buguruslanmezhraigaz trust, Vladimir Anatolyevich Chilyakov, only in 2008. The GKO decree of April 7, 1942, No. GKO 1563s, instructs the services and departments of the USSR to provide everything necessary for the construction of a strategically important facility: from the supply and transportation of building materials and electricity to food and manufactured goods for construction workers and employees. Documents from those years testify: the main trunk line ran 300-millimeter pipes of the dismantled Baku-Batumi gas pipeline, which was laid at the beginning of the century. There was not enough steel pipes for both gas pipelines and oil pipelines, and fuel was needed both at the front and in the rear. Then, at the suggestion of the head of Glavneftegaz, Yu. I. Bokserman and engineer IV Borodin, a risky decision was made: to use asbestos-cement instead of metal pipes, which were specially manufactured at the Voskresensk plant near Moscow. And they were tested on two experimental sites: for gas - not far from Buguruslan, on the basis of well No. 5, for oil - in the area of Zhuravlevka. The pipes withstood the load perfectly, but these pipes were not enough either. And then, for the construction of the gas pipeline, they used the blanks of army mortars. The total capacity of the strategically important gas pipeline reached 200 million cubic meters per year. The first industrial enterprise to receive gas was the Tolkai Mill. The country's first large gas pipeline went into operation, regular gas supply began to enterprises, and then to Kuibyshev's residential buildings. The underground gas main, laid in 1942-1943, operated for an even longer time - it provided a huge city with cheap fuel until the end of the war and in the post-war years. Later, Kuibyshev, whose population exceeded a million people, began to receive plenty of "blue fuel" through a new gas pipeline from Orenburg. In the postwar years, following the Buguruslan trust, the Orenburgmezhraygaz, Orskmezhraygaz, and Novotroitskmezhraygaz trusts were formed. And in 1965, the trusts and offices of gas facilities, by order of the Orenburg regional executive committee, merged into the regional administration for gasification and operation of the gas facilities. Thus, a unified complex of the region's low-pressure gas transmission system was created. Its main task was the construction of gas pipelines, gasification of housing stock in cities, workers' settlements and rural areas, as well as the safe and trouble-free operation of gas equipment. By the end of 1965, 4 cities, 5 rural settlements were supplied with gas, and 189 kilometers of gas pipelines were built. Gas came to 27 thousand apartments of Orenburg residents. The production base was still weak, there was a shortage of technical and transport vehicles. There was a shortage of qualified personnel to develop gas supply to consumers. In such difficult conditions, the regional association began its work and received the name Orenburgoblgaz (from October 15, 2013, the enterprise was renamed to OAO Gazprom Gazoraspredelenie Orenburg, and from 2 July 2015, it was renamed to AO Gazprom Gazoraspredelenie Orenburg).
