EXPORT OPPORTUNITIES : ...And Our Project for Trafigura Utilizes Our Existing Assets While Expanding Our Ability to Meet Growing Export Demand Trafigura’s four-year commitment to transport and store WTI on our South Texas System and our CCNB facility will support near- and longer-term projects: Starting as soon as summer 2019, we are connecting PAA’s Cactus II pipeline to our South Texas system to transport WTI on our 16” existing pipeline from Taft to our CCNB facility Construction, scheduled for in-service by year-end 2019: A new 30” pipeline from Taft to our CCNB facility – 3Q19 600Mbbls of storage at CCNB, bringing our capacity at the facility to 3.9MMbbls (of which Trafigura will lease 1.6MMbbls) – 4Q19 We expect project spending to total approximately $110MM generating a multiple in the 2– 4X range We are in discussions to connect to other long-haul pipeline projects and with parties for additional commitments We are exploring connections to projects for crude oil export facilities with VLCC-loading capabilities 1818
EXPORT OPPORTUNITIES : Our Connection Facility in Taft Will Establish Our Footprint in Taft, Texas, the Emerging South Texas Crude Oil Hub The Permian long-haul pipeline 2MMbpd Taft projects were developed to from the maximize shippers’ destination Permian ~15 miles to Ingleside optionality, and Taft, Texas Harbor offers both geographic ~6+ miles to Island flexibility and less expensive Inner Harbor Ingleside 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 19
“SPILLOVER” OPPORTUNITIES: Beyond Its Role in Our Corpus Export Project, Our South Texas Crude System Benefits Not Only From the Inland WTI Price Differentials, But the System’s Contracted Eagle Ford T&D Volumes Differentials widened last year on market concerns that the basin’s 2019 production trajectory would drive a near-term shortfall in long-haul takeaway capacity As shippers look to find ways to benefit from the price dislocation, we have seen volume increases from this dislocation Again in May, our system will benefit from incremental barrels trucked from the Permian We now have T&D contracts for ~116MBPD on a system with 240MBPD capacity Last year, we renewed commitments for ~50MBPD with customers on our South Texas System While Eagle Ford growth is projected to continue to lag, we are making progress in increasing our market share by leveraging our system’s flexibility and reach, our optionality and reputation for great service 20
“SPILLOVER” OPPORTUNITIES : We Are Supplying Permian Barrels to the Ardmore and McKee Refineries from Plains’ Sunrise II Pipeline We provide our customer with optionality to supply the Ardmore and McKee refineries with Permian barrels from Plains’ Sunrise II expansion Service to Ardmore – Expect ~85MBPD (similar volumes with higher tariff) Service to McKee – Expect ~110MBPD (similar volumes and tariff) We entered into an agreement with a customer to construct an additional connection to our Wichita Falls terminal to support increased volumes and move Permian barrels to both Ardmore and McKee refineries and third- party pipelines We have signed a long-term commitment to ship barrels between Wichita Falls, TX and Permian Long-Haul Optionality Hewitt, OK to support deliveries to a Cushing Short-Haul Optionality third-party pipeline New service to Hewitt – Expect 55-65MBPD starting this month (incremental volume and tariff) The projects help us serve our customers’ needs and benefit from longer-haul tariff and incremental barrels 21

ST. JAMES’ EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES: Dramatic Changes in Crude Flows From Shale Production are Driving Additional Crude to St. James Rapid growth in U.S. shale production has allowed refiners to replace much of crude imports with domestic crude This shifting crude demand has changed crude flows in the region, but St. James continues to play a central role in crude distribution and storage for the region and the world Regional refiners still require heavy sour crude to balance their slate, which will require imports either over water or from Canada As production of light barrels from the Permian and other domestic play exceeds Gulf Coast refiners’ appetites, those barrels will be exported to Europe and Asia A number of key projects to bring crude to, or facilitate export from, St. James have emerged to address changing supply and demand: LOOP exports Bayou Bridge Swordfish Seahorse ACE Capline reversal Source: RBN C O N F I D E N T I A L 2323
ST. JAMES’ EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES: St. James is Benefiting From Price Dislocations Now and is Positioned to Participate in Export Growth in the Future We have executed contracts and expect 10 trains per month for unit train off-loading driven by favorable price differentials of WTI, WCS and Bakken Dislocations may continue through 2020, due to the delay of Enbridge Line 3 replacement until 2H20 We are also working to facilitate exports of barrels delivered via our existing and planned pipeline connections as long-haul pipelines debottleneck shale plays and new pipes debottleneck the broader system As soon as 3Q20, Capline’s reversal is likely to bring large volumes of Permian, heavy Canadian and Bakken crude for use in regional refineries and export to other locations Bayou Bridge began bringing Permian light barrels to St. James in late March, and the line may also bring Bakken and Canadian, either for export or local use 24

By Selling Our St. Eustatius Facility, We Will Focus All Our Resources on Lowering Our Debt Metrics and Our High-Return Growth Projects in North America Since January, when the U.S. imposed PDVSA-specific sanctions, it has become increasingly clear that our St. Eustatius facility requires a new business model to ensure its long-term success We determined in recent months that our best path forward is to sell the terminal to a buyer that is well- positioned to take advantage of the changing global crude trade flow patterns We entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to sell the facility to GTI Statia Holdings, N.V., affiliated with Prostar Capital, for approximately $250 million, subject to adjustments We expect to use proceeds from the sale to pay down our revolver balance The sale will improve our metrics and help fund our growth projects for our core business in North America to generate stable, consistent growth for our unitholders We expect to close this transaction by the end of the second quarter 36
This Sale is an Important Step in our Successful Implementation of our 2019 Plan to Ensure Strong, Stable Growth in the Future Strong Coverage Low Leverage Maximum Self-Funding Simplified Structure No IDRs Disciplined Project Management Quality Assets Safe, Efficient Operations 37
