By Mid-2020, the Port of Corpus Christi is Expected to Become the Largest U.S. Crude Export Hub ★ Regional refiners’ consumption has MMBPD U.S. Gulf Coast Oil Exports by Hub topped out, which means that a 7 significant proportion of the volumes to be transported on the additional 6.2 5.9 5.8 5.9 6 Corpus Christi exports are 2.1MMbpd of new long-haul pipeline 5.5 5.5 6.1 expected to grow from 5.3 5.9 capacity from the Permian to the 0.5MMbpd to 5.1 5.6 Corpus area coming in-service during 5 2.0MMbpd by YE 2020 4.7 5.2 2H 2019 will be moved out over 4.1 Corpus dock facilities 4.0 4 3.7 ★ Corpus Christi, historically a regional 4.0 2.9 refinery and domestic marine delivery 3 2.7 hub, will evolve into a major crude oil 2.5 2.9 export hub 1.9 2.0 2 ⭐In 2018, Corpus Christi represented 1.5 21% of the total 712MMbbls Gulf Coast exports 1 ⭐By year-end 2023, exports from Corpus are projected to grow to 2.6MMbpd of 0 the Gulf Coast’s total 6.3MMbpd Q1- Q3- Q1- Q3- Q1- Q3- Q1- Q3- Q1- Q3- Q1- Q3- 2018 2018 2019 2019 2020 2020 2021 2021 2022 2022 2023 2023 Corpus Christi Houston Nederland Louisiana Source: EIA, Rystad Energy (October 2019), IEA 19


 
We Have Expanded on Our Existing Assets in South Texas to Export Permian Barrels for Trafigura From Our Corpus Christi Facility ★ We have completed our project for Trafigura to connect our existing South Texas Crude System with PAA’s Cactus II to transport Permian barrels to our Corpus Christi North Beach facility for export: ⭐ In August, we began transporting WTI via our South Texas system 16” existing pipeline from a connection to PAA’s Cactus II pipeline to our Corpus Christi North Beach Terminal ⭐ In early September, we completed construction on a new 30” pipeline from a connection in Taft, TX to our Corpus Christi North Beach Terminal and continue to build 600Mbbls of storage at Corpus Christi, which will bring our Q4 capacity at the facility to 3.9MMbbls ★ Taft, TX will be the point of convergence for all three new pipelines and offers shipper optionality to deliver to either side of the ship channel (Ingleside or Corpus Christi) ⭐ We are in discussions to connect to other long-haul pipeline projects and with parties for additional commitments 20

Our Connection Facility Establishes Our Footprint in Taft, Texas, the Emerging South Texas Crude Oil Hub ★ The Permian long-haul 2.1MMbpd Taft pipeline projects were from the developed to maximize Permian ~15 miles to Ingleside shippers’ destination Harbor Island optionality, and Taft, Texas ~6+ miles to Inner Harbor offers both geographic Ingleside flexibility and less expensive real estate ⭐Taft’s location offers a Corpus Christi jumping off point for connections on either side of the Corpus Christi Ship Channel (Ingleside or the Inner Harbor) ★ As the point of convergence for all three of the Permian-to-Corpus Christi long-haul pipelines and with developing access to multiple marine and refinery outlets, Taft is poised to become the major crude oil market hub in South Texas ★ Our connection to Cactus II in Taft not only enables our services for Trafigura; it also positions NuStar to build on our early entry into this developing hub ★ We believe there will be ample volumes to support an expansion of our initial Taft footprint 22


 
St. James, Formerly the Heart of U.S. Crude Import Infrastructure, has Evolved as North American Shale Production is Reversing Crude Flows to Favor Regional Supply and Export ★ Pre-shale play revolution, St. James, LA became the heart of a vast web of pipelines dedicated to supplying imported crude oil to refineries in the region and inland, across the mid-continent ★ As rapid growth in U.S. shale production has allowed refiners to replace much of crude imports with domestic crude, imports to U.S. refiners through St. James have decreased dramatically MBPD Gulf Coast Refinery Crude Inputs 10,000 ★ At the same time, North American 8,000 shale production continues to grow, Domestic Production 6,000 and St. James continues to play a 4,000 central role in crude distribution and 2,000 storage for the region and the world Imported Crude - 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 Source: RBN, EIA CONFIDENTIAL 23


 
Our St. James Terminal is a World-class Facility That We Continue to Connect and Equip for the Next Opportunities as the Hub Evolves ★ St. James is evolving into a hub for regional crude distribution and storage and for U.S. exports ⭐U.S. refiners will continue to require heavy sour crude to balance their slate, which will be imported either by pipeline from Canada or over the water from other sources ⭐As production in the Permian, Bakken and Western Canada grow to exceed North American refiners’ needs, those barrels will be exported In-bound Capacity Storage Capacity Out-bound Capacity ⭐ Marathon 30” ⭐ Bayou Bridge 24” ⭐ ExxonMobil 16” & ⭐ Zydeco 18” LOCAP Pipelines- Pipelines- 24” 48” 3.5MMbpd 1.4MMbpd ⭐ Shell Norco (via ⭐ Crimson 16” LOCAP 30” ⭐ Ship Shoal 20” 9.9MM bbls /Maurepas 24”) Unit Trains- 180Mbpd (expandable +5MMbbls) Trucks-20Mbpd Marine Imports Marine Exports ★ We are developing projects to ensure that, as in-bound pipeline volumes grow, we have the connectivity and capability those barrels require for handling storage and export ★ NuStar’s St. James facility has the capacity and connectivity to handle the changing crude flows in the region with access to crude supply from Gulf of Mexico, Eagle Ford, Permian and other domestic shale plays 24


 
Our St. James Facility is Benefiting From Price Dislocations in the Near-Term and Positioned to Participate in Export Growth in the Future ★ A major dislocation between WCS production and the Gulf Coast from a lack of long-haul capacity from the North has continued to drive wide differentials that support unit train economics this year ⭐We recently contracted higher MVCs for 30MBPD through April 2022 (up- sized from 20MBPD) ⭐Dislocations may continue into 2021, due to the delay of Enbridge Line 3 replacement until 2H20 ★ We are ensuring our facility is connected to the long-haul pipeline projects in progress to debottleneck shale plays, the region, as well as the Midwest and beyond ⭐As soon as 1H21, Capline’s New Pipelines Debottleneck the Broader System reversal is likely to bring large volumes of WTI, heavy Canadian and Bakken crude for use in regional refineries and export to other locations ⭐Bayou Bridge began bringing WTI light barrels to St. James in late March, and the line may also bring Bakken and Canadian barrels either for export or local use 25


 
Northern Mexico Refined Products Supply


 
Mexico’s Refined Product Demand is Expected to Continue to Exceed Its Infrastructure’s Capacity ★ Mexico refineries currently operate around 35% of nameplate capacity due to weak returns and historical under- investment ⭐ In 2019, utilization has fluctuated between 30% and 55% of capacity and is projected to stabilize at 40% of capacity in 2020 Mexico Combined Gasoline and Diesel Balance ★ With limited domestic supply, MBPD gasoline and diesel imports have 1,400 1,100 made up 60%-80% of Mexico’s 1183 976 1147 1157 1162 1114 1132 1078 1056 1046 consumption in recent years 800 1024 1002 ⭐ In 2019, gasoline and diesel 500 imports continue to make up 200 approximately 68% of -100 Mexico’s consumption 1Q 2Q 3Q 4Q 1Q 2Q 3Q 4Q 1Q 2Q 3Q Oct 2017 2017 2017 2017 2018 2018 2018 2018 2019 2019 2019 2019 Production Import Export/Other Sales Source: RBN Energy (1/15/2019), Petroleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) 27
