This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (“Amendment  No. 1”) amends and supplements the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) on October 7, 2011 in connection with an acquisition completed by its wholly owned subsidiary, BreitBurn Operating L.P. (“BreitBurn Operating”).

On October 7, 2011, the Partnership filed a Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with its completion of an acquisition of certain assets (the “Cabot Assets”) from Cabot Oil & Gas Corporation (“Cabot”).  The Cabot Assets acquired by BreitBurn Operating under the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Cabot consist of oil and gas properties which are approximately 95% natural gas reserves and are located primarily in the Evanston and Green River Basins of Southwest Wyoming.  The Cabot Assets also include limited acreage and non-operated oil and gas interests in Colorado and Utah.  Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, BreitBurn Operating completed the acquisition of the Cabot Assets in exchange for $283 million in cash, subject to ordinary adjustments (the “Cabot Acquisition”).  The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, previously filed on July 29, 2011 as Exhibit 10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K.

The Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 7, 2011 is being amended by this Amendment No. 1 to update the pro forma financial information with respect to the Cabot Acquisition for the period ended September 30, 2011. No other amendments to the Form 8-K filed on October 7, 2011 are being made by this Amendment No. 1.
