Company Overview

Breitburn Energy Partners L.P. (NASDAQ: BBEP) is an independent oil and gas master limited partnership (MLP) focused on the acquisition, exploitation, development and production of oil and gas properties in the United States. An MLP is a resource-focused publicly traded partnership that brings together the tax benefits of a partnership with the liquidity of a public company.

Since the founding of its predecessor company in 1988, Breitburn has adhered to the same strategy:

  • Acquire long-lived assets with low-risk exploitation and development opportunities
  • Optimize recovery by using technical expertise and state-of-the-art technologies
  • Reduce cash flow volatility through commodity price and interest rate derivatives
  • Maximize asset value and distributable cash flow through our operating and technical expertise


With assets consisting primarily of domestic producing and non-producing crude oil and natural gas reserves, our properties give both institutional and retail investors a responsible investment opportunity unique within the oil and gas sector. Since 2010, Breitburn has delivered consistent distribution growth.
