Item 7.01 Regulation FD.

As previously announced, on March 9, 2015, BPZ Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas Victoria Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the proceeding In re BPZ Resources, Inc., Case No. 15-60016 (the “Bankruptcy Case”). Additional information regarding the Bankruptcy Case can be found at www.bpzenergy.com and www.kccllc.net/bpz.

On September 22, 2015, the Company filed a monthly operating report for the period beginning August 1, 2015 and ending August 31, 2015 (the “Monthly Operating Report”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Report is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference. This Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibit hereto) shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information required to be disclosed solely by Regulation FD.

This information is furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed 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 specifically incorporated by reference in a document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

Cautionary Statement Regarding the Monthly Operating Report

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, was not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. Therefore, the Monthly Operating Report does not necessarily contain all information required in filings pursuant to the Exchange Act, or may present such information differently from such requirements. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company’s securities, the Monthly Operating Report is complete. The Monthly Operating Report also contains information for periods which are shorter or otherwise different from those required in the Company’s reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, and such information might not be indicative of the Company’s financial condition or operating results for the period that would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements or in its reports pursuant to the Exchange Act. Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements and information included herein may constitute “forward-looking statements,” as such term is defined in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to future events of the Company. Such statements are only predictions and involve risks and uncertainties, resulting in the possibility that actual events or performance will differ materially from such predictions as a result of certain risk factors. As such, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only to management’s plans, assumptions and expectations as of the date hereof. Please refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2015 and other SEC filings for a discussion of material risk factors and additional information on factors which may cause the Company’s future results to materially vary from such forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any duty to update or alter any forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Bankruptcy Proceedings

As previously disclosed on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 6, 2015, after the closing of the Purchase and Sale Agreements authorized by the Bankruptcy Court and described therein, the Company has no further business operations. The only remaining assets to liquidate are non-operating assets consisting of the three GE LM 6000 PD gas fired turbine packaged power units, which have been transferred from a subsidiary to the Company in preparation for sale and liquidation. The Company has filed a proposed Plan of Liquidation under Chapter 11 with the Bankruptcy Court.

The proposed Plan of Liquidation contemplates the holders of the Company’s capital stock will receive no distribution on account of their interests and cancellation of their existing stock. If certain requirements of the Bankruptcy Code are met, a Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation can be confirmed notwithstanding its rejection by the Company’s equity securityholders and notwithstanding the fact that such equity securityholders do not receive or retain any property on account of their equity interests under the plan. Shareholders of a company in Chapter 11 generally receive value only if all claims of the company’s secured and unsecured creditors are fully satisfied. In this case, because the proceeds from the previously disclosed consummation of the Purchase Agreement and the Spin-Off Contract are significantly less than the Company's administrative liabilities and amounts owed to creditors, the proposed Plan of Liquidation provides that the Company’s shareholders will receive no value for their shares of its common stock. Accordingly, even though the Company’s common stock continues to be quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace, it has no underlying asset value and the Company’s shareholders should not view the trading activity of its common stock on the OTC Pink Marketplace or any other market or trading platform as being indicative of the value the Company’s shareholders will receive, if any, as part of the Bankruptcy Case or in connection with any liquidation.

Ongoing Reporting to Shareholders

The Company has suspended and plans to continue to suspend the filing of its regular SEC periodic reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K given the Company has ceased to have an operating business based on the facts described above, and the likelihood that shareholders will receive no value for their shares. The Company will, however, continue filing Forms 8-K with respect to material developments concerning the Company until it has disposed of all remaining assets and is dissolved, as expected under state law.
