Closing of Previously Reported Acquisition
BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P. (the "Partnership")
is providing the following updated disclosure with respect to its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 27, 2012.
On June 28, 2012, the Partnership completed
an acquisition by BreitBurn Operating L.P. ("BreitBurn Operating"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership, of
certain assets (the "NiMin Assets") from Legacy Energy, Inc. (the "Seller"), a wholly-owned subsidiary
of NiMin Energy Corp. ("NiMin"). On June 28, 2012, BreitBurn Operating, the Seller and NiMin also entered into a First
Amendment (the "Amendment") to the Purchase and Sale Agreement dated April 24, 2012 (the "Purchase Agreement"). 
Under the terms of the Amendment, the purchase price paid at closing was reduced by $2.3 million pending the resolution of issues
related to two leases.
The NiMin Assets acquired by BreitBurn Operating
consist of crude oil properties located in the Big Horn Basin of Wyoming. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase
Agreement, as amended, BreitBurn Operating completed the acquisition of the NiMin Assets in exchange for approximately $93 million
in cash, subject to ordinary post-closing adjustments (the "NiMin 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 April 27, 2012 as Exhibit
10.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K and to the Amendment which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on
Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

a press release announcing the completion of the NiMin Acquisition. A copy of the press release is furnished and attached as Exhibit
99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein solely for the purposes of this Item 7.01 disclosure.
The information set forth in this Current
Report on Form 8-K provided under Item 7.01 and in Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section
18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of
that Section, unless the Partnership specifically states that the information is to be considered "filed" under the
Exchange Act or incorporates it by reference into a filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
The Partnership is providing the following
updated disclosure with respect to the Partnership's bank credit facility.
Fifth Amendment to Bank Credit Facility
On May 25, 2012, the Partnership entered
into the Fifth Amendment (the "Fifth Amendment") to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "Credit
Agreement"), dated May 7, 2010, with BreitBurn Operating as borrower, and the Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
as guarantors, for a four-year, $1.5 billion revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing
Line Lender and Issuing Lender and a syndicate of banks. The Fifth Amendment increased the permitted amount of senior unsecured
notes that the Partnership may issue from $700 million to $1 billion under the Credit Agreement.
The description of the Fifth Amendment
set forth above in this Current Report is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Fifth Amendment, which has been filed as
