This Post-Effective Amendment (“Post-Effective Amendment”) filed by Breitburn Energy Partners LP (the “Partnership”) deregisters all common units representing limited partnership interests of the Partnership (the “Common Units”) remaining unissued under the following Registration Statement on Form S-8 (“Registration Statement”) filed by the Partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

● Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-205449), filed on July 2, 2015, registering 15,000,000 Common Units under the First Amended and Restated BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended.

As previously disclosed, on May 15, 2016, the Partnership and certain of its affiliates filed voluntary petitions for relief (and the cases commenced thereby, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Chapter 11 Cases are being administered jointly under the caption In re Breitburn Energy Partners LP, et al., Case No. 16-11390.

As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Partnership has terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Partnership in the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of such offering, the Partnership hereby removes from registration by means of this Post-Effective Amendment all of such securities registered but unsold under the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities and the Partnership hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.
