Item 1.  Security and Issuer.
         -------------------

         This  Amendment  No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this  "Filing") is filed by the
undersigned  to amend and  supplement  the Schedule 13D,  dated as of October 6,
2004 (the "Original 13D").  The Original 13D related to the common stock,  $0.01
par  value  ("Common  Stock"),  of  Blue  Dolphin  Energy  Company,  a  Delaware
corporation (the "Company"),  which has its principal  executive offices located
at 801 Travis,  Suite 2100,  Houston,  Texas 77002.  This Filing reports,  inter
alia,  the  Investors'  acquisition  of additional  warrants to purchase  Common
Stock.  Capitalized  terms used herein and not otherwise  defined shall have the
meaning set forth in the Original 13D.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.
         -----------------------

         1(b) of Item 2 of the  Original  13D is  amended  and  restated  in its
entirety to read as follows:

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
         -------------------------------------------------

         Item 3 of the Original 13D is amended by adding the following paragraph
after the first paragraph:

         "Funds for Messrs. Parker and Chadwick's respective share of the Bridge
         Loan (as defined  herein)  and funds for their  purchase of warrants to
         purchase   Common  Stock  came  from  their  own  personal   resources,
         respectively. Further, any funds needed for any anticipated exercise of
         the warrants  issued to or purchased by Messrs.  Parker or Chadwick are
         expected to come from their own personal resources."

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.
         ----------------------

         Item 4 of the  Original  13D is amended and restated in its entirety to
read as follows:

         "On  September  8, 2004,  the  Company,  on the one hand,  and numerous
         investors (collectively,  the "Investors"), on the other hand, signed a
         Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement ("Agreement") whereby the Investors
         agreed to provide a total of $750,000  worth of  individual  promissory
         notes to Company.  The Agreement also  authorized the sale and issuance
         of  1,250,000  warrants  to  purchase  shares  of  Common  Stock to the
         Investors  (the "Initial  Warrants").  Pursuant to the  Agreement,  Mr.
         Parker purchased  41,663 ("Parker  Initial  Warrants") and Mr. Chadwick
         purchased  20,834  of  the  1,250,000   warrants   ("Chadwick   Initial
         Warrants").

         On the same date, the  Investors,  Columbus and Messrs.  Siem,  Kaffie,
         Chadwick,  Trimble and Jacobson (each a "Shareholder," and collectively
         the "Shareholders")  entered into a shareholders  agreement and granted
         Messrs.  Webster and  Parker,  and each of them  individually,  a proxy
         pursuant to the provisions of the general  corporation law of the State
         of Delaware,  with full power of substitution  and  resubstitution,  to
         vote or act by written consent with respect to the  Shareholder  Shares
         (as defined  below),  only to accomplish  the purpose and agreements as
         set forth in Section 1 of the Shareholder Voting Agreement (see Exhibit
         1) ("Shareholder Agreement').

         Section 1 of the Shareholder  Agreement provides,  inter alia, that the
         Shareholders'  proxy  will be  used to  approve  (i)  the  issuance  of
         additional  warrants  on  the  terms  and  conditions  provided  in the
         Agreement,  (ii) the issuance of the  Director  Warrants (as defined in
         the Shareholder Agreement),  (iii) the amendment and restatement of the
         Company's  certificate  of  incorporation,  and  (iv) the  election  of
         Messrs. Parker and Benz to the Company's Board of Directors.

         As of September 8, 2004, the Shareholders were the beneficial owners of
         2,744,034 shares of Company's Common Stock ("Shareholder  Shares"),  as
         described below:

         ("Chadwick   Director   Warrants"),   and  Parker   ("Parker   Director

         Chadwick  purchased  20,833  of  the  Additional   Warrants  ("Chadwick

         only have the authority to vote for the election of Messrs.  Parker and
         Benz,  individually,  to the Board of Directors of the Company,  at the
