Registration Statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-124908
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Blue
Dolphin Energy Company (the "Company"), the registrant under the registration
statement on Form S-3, File No. 333-124908 (the "Registration Statement"),
respectfully requests that the Registration Statement be declared effective at

thereafter.
In connection with this request, the Company acknowledges that:
o should the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority,
declare the Registration Statement effective, it does not foreclose
the Commission from taking any action with respect to the
Registration Statement;
o the action of the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to
delegated authority, in declaring the Registration Statement
effective does not relieve the Company from its full responsibility
for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the Registration
Statement; and
o the Company may not assert the declaration of effectiveness of the
Registration Statement as a defense in any proceeding initiated by
the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of
the United States of America.
