10 In 2021, We Also Intend to Produce NuStar’s First Sustainability Report to Tout NuStar’s Proud Tradition of “ESG” Excellence


 
11 For 20 Years, NuStar has Been Protecting Our Employees, the Environment and Our Communities Because We Truly Believe That’s the Right Thing to Do ★ Our safety statistics reflect our commitment to safe, responsible operations ❑ In 2019, as in years past, we performed substantially better than our peers ➢ 21.5 times better than the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) comparison data for the Bulk Terminals Industry ➢ 6.2 times better than the BLS data for the Pipeline Transportation Industry ★ NuStar has received the International Liquids Terminals Association’s (ILTA) Safety Excellence Award 10 times ❑ ILTA reviews its members’ safety reports filed with OSHA, and recognizes member companies that achieve exemplary safety statistics with an award ★ We participate in the OSHA Voluntary Protection Program (VPP), which promotes effective worksite safety and health ❑ Achieving VPP Star Status requires rigorous OSHA review and audit, and Star Status requires renewal every three years ❑ 85% of our U.S. terminals are VPP-certified 1 – Industry averages derived from 2011-2019 Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Data.


 
12 And Pipelines are the Safest, Most Energy Efficient Mode of Energy Transportation, Generating Only a Small Proportion of GHG Emissions Sources: ARC Energy Research Institute, using input data from the U.S. Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory to define the U.S. Refined Average (2014) *U.S. Refined Average (2014); Student Research Associate, Strata ❑ Rail is over 4.6 times more likely to experience an incident compared to pipelines ❑ Trucks are 6 times more likely to experience an incident compared to pipelines Pipelines are Safest PIPELINES ARE LOW GHG EMITTERS RELATIVE TO THE REST OF THE VALUE CHAIN… To move the volumes that NuStar moves in a single day 37 Unit Trains … And Relative to Alternative Transport 11,000 Trucks 0.7% 0.5% It would require:


 
13 In Our Report, We Plan to Share More About the Statistics, Record and Rankings That Reflect How Much NuStar Cares, Contributes and Shares ★ NuStar has been recognized for its strong corporate culture with numerous awards ❑ NuStar has been recognized 11 times in Fortune’s Annual “100 Best Companies to Work For” list ★ NuStar employees contributed 83,000 volunteer hours in 2019 alone ❑ NuStar maintains local volunteer councils in each community in which we operate to contribute to the charitable and civic causes unique to that local community ★ 100% of our U.S. employees contribute to our United Way campaign, and our average per capita contribution is the highest in the nation for a company our size ❑ NuStar’s total 2020 contribution was $4.8 million ★ Since 2007, NuStar’s employees have hosted a golf tournament to support Haven for Hope, a transformational campus in San Antonio that addresses homelessness ❑ The tournament has generated an aggregate of over $42 million for Haven for Hope Ranked #13! Ranked #62! Ranked #46!

15 We Will Stay Focused on Our Priorities, for the Rest of 2020 and Throughout 2021 Working to Fund Spending From Internally Generated Cash Flows Continuing to Take Steps to Improve Our Debt Metrics Promoting NuStar’s ESG Excellence


 
16 We are Confident That the Product Demand Recovery We Have Seen is the First Step on the Road Back to Shale Production Growth in 2021-2022 U.S. Shale Production Growth Higher Crude Prices Crude Demand Recovery Increased Refinery Utilization Refined Product Demand Rebound 2020 2021-22


 
17 Overall U.S. Gasoline and Diesel Demand is Expected to Recover to 94% of Pre-COVID Levels by Year-end… ★ In the second quarter, U.S. refined products demand dropped by 21% compared to January 2020, but by year-end 2020, gasoline and diesel demand are expected to recover to pre-COVID demand levels of 94% ❑ The recovery of jet fuel demand is expected to lag behind gasoline and diesel demand, as the airline industry continues to experience low flight demand due to COVID concerns Source: EIA 95% 75% 90% 91% 95% 94% 94% 96%94% 87% 89% 96% 95% 99% 97% 99% 100% 92% 39% 52% 61% 81% 87% 91% 91% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 1Q20 2Q20 3Q20 4Q20 1Q21 2Q21 3Q21 4Q21 2022 U.S. Refined Product Demand (as a % of Pre-COVID Demand) Gasoline Diesel Jet Fuel


 
18 … And We Have Definitely Seen Resilience in Refined Products Demand in the Markets NuStar Serves 1 - Comparison of year-over-year demand ★ 2020 EBITDA guidance range assumes 85% recovery for the remainder of the year ★ Slight decrease from October 2020 levels driven by operational issues at some of our customers’ refineries (unrelated to pandemic or economic recovery) 100% 80% 100% 65% 65% 105% 80% 90% 85%

20 The Permian- the World’s Largest, Most Resilient Shale Play- is Expected to Resume Growth in 2022, and Our System has Already Rebounded Ahead of the Rest of the Permian Basin ★ Because of its superior geology and breakeven costs, the Permian Basin’s production is expected: ❑ To exit 2020 at 3.8 MMBPD, approximately 51% of the nation’s total shale output ❑ Return to growth in 2022 ★ Our system’s throughput volumes are now up 18% above May lows, while the rest of the Permian is up 11% from the May low ★ We averaged 423MBPD in the third quarter Source: EIA Drilling Productivity Report (November 2020), Rystad, ESAI 3.7 3.8 3.9 4.4 4.3 3.6 3.2 3.6 0 2 4 6 8 10 2019 2020 2021 2022 M M B P D U.S. Shale Production Outlook Permian Rest-of-U.S. 0 5 10 2015 2018 2021 2024 2027 2030 MMBPD Permian Oil Production (2015-2030) WTI @ $30 WTI @ $60 237% 89% 0% 40% 80% 120% 160% 200% 240% 280% C u m u la ti v e M o n th ly G ro w th ( % ) NuStar's System Throughput Growth & Recovery is Outpacing the Permian Basin NS Growth Permian Growth

29 Our Unit Train Facility Benefits From WCS/Bakken Price Dislocations From Pipeline Constraints, and We Will Benefit From Export Growth as Those Constraints are Resolved G U L F C O A S T S T O R A G E & E X P O R T ★ We continue to work to assure our facility is connected to the pipeline projects in progress to debottleneck shale plays, the region, as well as the Midwest and beyond ❑ In March 2019, Bayou Bridge began bringing WTI light, Bakken and Canadian barrels either for export or local use ❑ As soon as late-2021, Capline owners plan to reverse its service to bring WTI, heavy Canadian and Bakken crude for use in regional refineries and export to other locations ★ Prior to March, the lack of long-haul pipeline capacity to transport WCS supply to Gulf Coast demand generated price differentials that supported unit train economics ❑ We have contract commitments for 30MBPD through April 2022 ❑ As Canadian production ramps back up, this price dislocation is expected to re-emerge and continue until Enbridge Line 3 is in service, now estimated to occur in 2021-22 ★ We can also handle light Bakken barrels with our rail facility, which may be an attractive alternative to DAPL Source: ESAI MBPD 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 Canadian Crude Oil Production Outlook Production Pipeline Takeaway Capacity Rail Opportunity
