20 The Permian Basin- the World’s Largest, Most Resilient Shale Play- is Also Rebounding, With Our System Growing Ahead of the Rest of the Permian Basin ★ Because of its superior geology and low breakeven costs, the Permian Basin’s production: ❑ Exited 2020 at 3.9 MMBPD, representing approximately 52% of the nation’s total shale output ❑ Projected to exit 2021 at 4.9 MMBPD; higher than both 2019 and 2020 ❑ Is expected to return to stronger growth in 2022 Source: EIA Drilling Productivity Report (April 2021), Rystad, ESAI - 244% 92% 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 3.7 3.9 4.0 4.4 0 2 4 2019 2020 2021 2022 MMBPD Permian Basin Production Outlook (Avg as of March 2021) 0 2 4 6 8 10 20182019202020212022202320242025 MMBP D Permian Oil Production (2018-2025) WTI @ $40 WTI @ $60 WTI @ $80 ★ Our system’s throughput volumes are now up 20% above Covid low, while the rest of the Permian is up 13% from the Covid low ★ We now expect to exit 2021 at 500 MBPD

27 ★ A significant proportion of the volumes transported on the additional 2.1MMBPD of new long-haul pipeline capacity from the Permian to the Corpus area is moving out over Corpus dock facilities ★ Corpus Christi, historically a regional refinery and domestic marine delivery hub, has evolved into a major U.S. crude oil export hub ❑ Currently, Corpus Christi comprises half of the Gulf Coast’s total ~3.0 MMBPD crude exports ❑ In July 2020, Corpus Christi exports recovered to pre-Covid levels of 1.5MMBPD ❑ Analysts expect Corpus Christi exports to remain steady in the near-term with potential to grow as early as 1H 2022 as global crude demand recovers Source: RBN Energy Corpus Christi exports have grown from 0.4MMBPD in 2019 to an average of 1.5MMBPD since January 2020 Gulf Coast Exports Held Up Well in 2020, and Corpus Christi’s Export Growth is Expected to Return to Growth in 2022 G U L F C O A S T S T O R A G E & E X P O R T

29 Our St. James Facility Benefits From Price Dislocations From Pipeline Constraints and 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 early 2022, 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 2020, 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 by the end of 2021 ★ We can also handle light Bakken barrels with our rail facility, which may offer an attractive alternative to DAPL Source: ESAI, UBS 0 1,000 2,000 3,000 4,000 5,000 6,000 MBPD Canadian Crude Oil Production Outlook Production Pipeline Takeaway Capacity Rail Opportunity
