Forward-Looking Statements

Cautionary Statement Relevant to Forward - Looking Information for the Purpose of "Safe Harbor" Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995

This presentation contains forward-looking statements relating to BreitBurn Energy Partners L.P's ("BBEP") operations that are based on management's current expectations, estimates and projections about its operations. Statements made in the course of this presentation that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements.  Words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "targets," "projects," "believes," "seeks," "schedules," "estimated," "guidance," "recommends," "will recommend”, and future projections shown in charts and tables and similar presentations and expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. The reader should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation. Unless legally required, BBEP undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are crude oil and natural gas prices; the competitiveness of alternate energy sources or product substitutes; technological developments; delays in planned or expected drilling and development programs; the future performance of the properties acquired from Quicksilver Resources Inc.; potential disruption or interruption of BreitBurn's net production due to accidents or severe weather; the effects of changed accounting rules under generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by rule-setting bodies; and the factors set forth under the heading "Risk Factors" incorporated by reference from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Unpredictable or unknown factors not discussed herein also could have material adverse effects on forward-looking statements.

Except as otherwise noted, information in this presentation relating to the properties acquired from Quicksilver is based on information provided to BreitBurn by Quicksilver as of June 30, 2007. BreitBurn intends to issue 2008 guidance before year-end and notes that its earlier guidance (issued August 14, 2007) for 2007 was prepared prior to the acquisition from Quicksilver and is no longer current or applicable.

► BBEP was formed in March 2006 as an independent oil and gas partnership focused on the acquisition, exploitation and development of oil and gas properties with the objective of generating stable cash flows and making distributions to unitholders

► Our recently announced quarterly distribution of $.4425 represents a 7.3% increase over our initial quarterly distribution of $.4125 paid in February 2007

*Amounts as of December 31, 2005.

Key Considerations for an E&P MLP

► Determination of initial assets to contribute Production decline rate PUD / Probable component “Maintenance capex” / reserve replacement;

predictability and level of operating costs

► Potential benefit / size of value arbitrage Vs. Risk Vs. Sponsor’s objectives Need to assess the true cost of capital comparison

► Degree of leverage – cushion / dry powder Especially important for an acquisition story Commodity price volatility

► Strategy / conflicts of interest between Sponsor and MLP (if sponsor is public) Which entity acquires which assets?

► Hedging production smoothes volatility in commodity prices Investor expectations Enhances the expected stability of cash flows

► Questions for sponsor Is there a need for capital? Will an MLP drive sponsor’s stock price higher? Will an MLP facilitate future strategy / growth (e.g.,

acquisitions)?

► Articulation of MLP growth strategy Drop down, acquisitions, organic Is the organization well suited to the intended

growth strategy?

► Reserve Profile Ability to separate PDP/PDNP from PUD/Probable Regional segregation?

► Development capex requirements Maintenance vs. growth

► Liquidity objectives / needs Acquisition financing vs. secondary equity sales

► Tax and accounting issues

► Standalone financial statements

► Liability management issues

E&P Considerations Company - Specific Issues

Page 18: 1 IPAA Annual Conference November 9, 2007 BreitBurn Energy Partners LP

18

Structural Considerations

Item Consideration

Corporate Structure• MLP vs LLC• Holdco vs asset drop-downs

Distribution Coverage/Growth

• High coverage vs distribution growth – impact on valuation / yield• Variability of operations influences coverage needs

Capital Structure• High leverage reduces distributable cash (interest payments) and hinders acquisition flexibility• Impacted by other factors – acquisition profile, financing needs, hedge profile, etc.

Hedging• Investors prefer visibility for near-term distribution stability• Retain some upside to future commodity price increases• Manage cost structure variability

Management • Significant management overlap is acceptable and has precedent• Board composition requirements

Incentive Distribution Rights• Broad spectrum of precedents• Marketing impact• Impact to sponsor

IPO Size• Depends on objectives• $150 million minimum to establish float and market visibility• Target institutional and retail investors – significant market capacity

Page 19: 1 IPAA Annual Conference November 9, 2007 BreitBurn Energy Partners LP

Management Incentive:

No Incentive Incentive Distribution Rights (IDR)

Management Incentive Interests (MII)

Management Incentive Units (MIU)

Description: ► Investors share equally in all cash flows

► Acquisitions are more accretive long-term without IDRs due to lower cost of equity

► Increasing % of cash distributions paid out to management as per unit distributions increase. Range for 2% interest to 25%

► If distributions per unit paid exceeds 115% of the initial quarterly distribution (IQD), LLC would earn a fee equal to 15% of the distributions in excess of 115% of the IQD

► Fee not payable unless distributions have exceeded the Target Distribution on average for 12 consecutive quarters

► Management granted 550,000 Management Incentive Units

► Distributions on MIUs increase by 37% for each 10% increase in common unit distributions

► Eligible for conversion to common units on a cash parity basis once common unit distributions are $2.74 per unit

Companies:

Subordination: ► No subordination ► Regular subordination► Subordination period for 5 years► Early subordination termination

in year 3 for 25% of the units and year 4 for 25% of the units provided certain tests are met

► Structural subordination ► No subordination

► Unlike midstream MLPs, where issuers have gravitated toward 50% splits, there is a wide divergence of management incentives currently used in E&P MLPs
