12 Our Ammonia Pipeline is the longest and only ammonia pipeline in the country, spanning over 2,000 miles and seven states, from Louisiana, north along the Mississippi to Missouri, and then northwest and east, to Nebraska and Indiana Today, we provide the lowest-cost option for transporting imported and domestically produced ammonia to fertilize crops in our nation’s “breadbasket” We have capacity available to transport additional volumes, including “blue” or “green” ammonia • Currently running ~30 MBPD (~3,500 STPD1), but have capacity close to ~50 MBPD (~5,500 STPD) Renewable Fuels Beyond the West Coast, We are Developing Near- and Long-term Opportunities for Our Ammonia System, Both Renewable and Conventional St. James Terminal NuStar Energy L.P. 1 – short tons per day
13 Ammonia, the World’s Second-most Widely Used Chemical, Offers Significant “Greening” Opportunities Ammonia is the basic building block for ammonium nitrate fertilizer, which releases nitrogen, an essential nutrient for growing plants • About 90% of the 200 million tons of ammonia (worth about $60 billion in the aggregate) produced each year is used for fertilizer • About ½ of the world’s food production relies on ammonia Traditional fossil-fuel ammonia production is estimated to contribute about 1.6% of global GHG emissions, which has driven interest in its de-carbonization • “Blue” ammonia is produced with natural gas, but the associated emissions are captured and stored • “Green” ammonia is produced using “renewable” electricity to power an electrolyser to extract hydrogen from water and an air separation unit to extract nitrogen from air, which are then combined, through a chemical reaction powered by renewable electricity, to produce ammonia In addition, “blue” and “green” ammonia have potential for use as lower-carbon alternative fuels: for engines/turbines to generate electricity, in alkaline fuel cells, as an up-to-70% blend ICE vehicles and for the maritime industry Ammonia can also be a lower-cost option for transporting hydrogen, which can be used for fuel cells or other applications, but ammonia is easier to transport and store than hydrogen as it doesn’t require cryogenic or high-pressure storage and can be relatively easily cracked to convert it to hydrogen NH3 Gas Turbine NH3 Fuel-cell Ship 70% NH3-fueled Car 50% of World’s Food Production Relies on NH3 Sources: Science Magazine, IHS Markit, Argus Renewable Fuels

20 Producers in the Basin Are Once Again Bullish on Permian Growth, Strength & Resiliency Crude Supply/Export “So we grew our Permian production from 2020 to 2021 by over 25%. Our expectation as we go into 2022 is to grow another 25%. And that's doing that with a very tight control on capital.” “We expect liquids to account for 47% of our revenue mix, up from 40% in 2021. We plan to accomplish this by weighing more capital to our oil and liquids-rich areas, with 49% in the Permian, 7% in the Anadarko, and 44% in Marcellus.” “In the Permian, we expect to run six rigs and two completion crews during 2022. This is a modest increase in activity coupled with a 7% increase in dollars per foot to $865 per foot at the midpoint.” “I think 2022 Permian production will be a little bit better than we showed at our Investor Day last March and, roughly speaking, up around maybe 10% compared to full year average in 2021.“ “… we're going to see a 50% increase in wells put on production in 2022 versus 2021.” “We talked in our 10-year plan of a growth rate for our Permian in the high- single digits.” “You've seen our operated production grow more than 35% in the Permian since we did the Shell deal and other things.” Source: 4Q 2021 Earnings Call Transcripts
