Al-Zawiya – The Brega Oil Marketing Company announced the publication of the twenty-fifth lists of eligible citizens to receive cooking gas cylinders in the Al-Zawiya area, urging citizens to review the lists and search for their names or reservation numbers.
The company confirmed that the collection process requires bringing a recent original electronic birth certificate, a copy of proof of identity, along with three copies of the system receipt, and payment of the specified financial amount of 240 dinars.
Brega emphasized the necessity for citizens whose names appear on the lists to proceed to collect their cylinders within a maximum period of ten days from the date of the announcement, noting that working hours extend from Saturday to Thursday.
This step comes within the framework of the company’s efforts to ensure the organized delivery of gas cylinders to citizens and to alleviate pressure on distribution centers amid the increasing demand for cooking gas.
Al-Zawiya

Brega Oil Marketing Company
The Brega Oil Marketing Company is a state-owned Libyan firm responsible for the distribution and marketing of petroleum products domestically and internationally. It was established as a key subsidiary of the state’s National Oil Corporation, playing a central role in Libya’s hydrocarbon industry since the nationalization of its oil sector in the 1970s.
cooking gas cylinders
Cooking gas cylinders are portable containers used to store and transport liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for domestic and commercial fuel. Their widespread adoption in the 20th century revolutionized home cooking and heating, providing a cleaner and more efficient energy source compared to solid fuels like coal or wood. This shift has had a significant cultural and practical impact on daily life, especially in urbanizing societies.
electronic birth certificate
The electronic birth certificate is a digital version of the traditional paper document, created to streamline administrative processes and enhance security. Its history is tied to the broader global shift toward e-governance in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, allowing for instant verification and reduced risk of fraud.
proof of identity
“Proof of identity” refers to the official documents or methods used to verify a person’s identity, such as passports, national ID cards, or digital certificates. Historically, the concept has evolved from simple seals and signatures to complex biometric systems, driven by the needs of states for population control, security, and administrative efficiency.
system receipt
The System Receipt is a conceptual artwork by American artist Joseph Beuys, created in 1974 as part of his “social sculpture” practice. It consists of a simple, stamped paper receipt documenting a transaction, which Beuys used to critique and make tangible the abstract economic and social systems governing value and exchange.
dinars
“Dinars” typically refers to the currency used in several countries, most notably Algeria, Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, and others. Historically, the name derives from the Roman “denarius,” a silver coin, and was later adopted and standardized by various Islamic empires. Today, each nation issues its own dinar with distinct values and designs, representing a key part of their modern economic systems.
