We use financial measures in this presentation that are not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) and our reconciliations of non- GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures are located in the appendix to this presentation. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP financial measures.


 
3 Our Solid Second Quarter Results Once Again Demonstrated the Strength and Resilience of Our Business 1 - Please see Appendix for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures Q2 2022 Q2 2021 ★ Last year, we delivered on our promise to fund our spending with internally generated cash flows, funding 112% of our strategic capital from excess adjusted DCF 1 in 2021, up 11% over 2020, and we are on track to increase our internally generated cash flows in 2022 and beyond Northern Mexico Refined Products Supply System Throughputs Permian Crude System Throughputs ★ Excluding the contribution from the Eastern U.S. terminals we sold in October 2021 and the Point Tupper terminal we sold in April, our second quarter 2022 EBITDA1 was comparable to 2Q21

Stronger Debt-to-EBITDA Ratio Improved From 2021


 
5 In 2022, We Have Kicked Off an Optimization Initiative In Order to Maximize Our Internally Generated Cash Flows Earlier this year, we kicked off an initiative to optimize our spending across our business to: • Scrutinize every dollar of OPEX and G&A expenses, with the goal of making meaningful strides in our cost structure to maximize internally generated cash flows • High-grade every dollar of our strategic spending to ensure that we only execute projects that meet or beat our internal hurdles and are lean, efficient and effective  In our first phase of optimization, we have already identified almost $60 million in cost and spending reductions, across 2022 and 2023 1 1 1 Up to ~$60MM Phase #1: Phase #2: In progress Kick-off: March 2022 2022 Optimization Initiative Cost and Spending Reductions Identified for 2022 and 2023, in total


 
6 We Believe That Our Optimization, Combined With Our Sale of Point Tupper, Will Allow NuStar to Continue to Improve Our Debt-to-EBITDA Ratio in 2022 By deploying proceeds from our recent assets sales to reduce debt, we were able to reduce our Debt-to-EBITDA ratio for year- end 2021 below 4.0x1 Optimization and the proceeds of the Point Tupper sale are expected to allow us to continue to reduce our leverage this year, and we expect to demonstrate continued meaningful improvement by year-end 2022… 1 - Please see Appendix for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures 1 1 3.99x Continued Improvement 4.24x 1 4Q20 Actual 4Q21 Actual 2022 Outlook 3.93x 2Q22 Actual 1 1 1 1

11  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 operating capacity close to ~50 MBPD (~5,500 STPD) Renewable Fuels We are Also Developing Near- and Long-term Opportunities for Our Ammonia System, Both Renewable and Conventional St. James Third-party terminal NuStar Energy L.P. 1 – short tons per day


 
12 Ammonia, the World’s Second-most Widely Used Chemical, Offers Significant “Greening” Opportunities  Ammonia is the basic building block for all types of nitrogen fertilizer which is an essential nutrient for growing plants • About 90% of the 200 million tons of ammonia (worth almost $80 billion in the aggregate) produced each year is used for fertilizer • About 50% of the world’s food production depends 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. 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 Depends on NH3 Sources: Science Magazine, IHS Markit, Argus, Research & Markets Global Ammonia Report Renewable Fuels

17 The Permian Basin is Leading the U.S. Shale Rebound, With Our Permian System Continuing to Outperform ★ Because of its superior geology and low breakeven costs, the Permian Basin’s shale production: • Exited 2021 at 5.1 MMBPD, representing approximately 55% of the nation’s total shale output • Is projected to exit 2022 at 6.2 MMBPD, representing 22% growth compared to 2021 exit ★ As of July, our system’s throughput volumes are now up 49% above Covid lows, while the rest of the Permian is up 35% from Covid lows ★ We expect to exit 2022 between 560 and 570 MBPD, which is 10% higher than our 2021 exit of ~520 MBPD Source: Rystad, ESAI - Crude Supply/Export 0 3 6 9 12 M M B P D Permian Oil Production (2018-2025) WTI @ $50 WTI @ $70 WTI @ $90 WTI @ $110 327% 132% 0% 40% 80% 120% 160% 200% 240% 280% 320% 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 4.4 4.5 4.7 5.3 5.7 5.5 6.8 0 2 4 6 8 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 M M B P D Permian Basin Oil Production Outlook (Avg as of July 2022) ESAI Rystad

19 Producers in the Basin Are Once Again Bullish on Permian Growth, Strength & Resiliency Crude Supply/Export “As global demand recovers, we continued to invest in our portfolio and grew our year-to-date production in the Permian by about 130,000 oil equivalent barrels per day versus the first half of 2021. For the full year in the Permian, we expect to achieve 25% production growth for the second consecutive year.” “Our Permian production delivery remains very strong, with a growth of approximately 100,000 BOE per day when comparing the fourth quarter of 2021 to our implied production guidance for the fourth quarter of 2022. We expect production in the second half of 2022 to average approximately 1.2 million BOE per day, which is notably higher than the first half of the year.” “Two of our Midland Basin sites recently earned the highest ratings from Project Canary's independent certification program. Production is at record levels and growing, in-line with guidance, with our royalty position providing a distinct financial advantage for our shareholders.” “In general, the production in both the Lower 48 and in the Permian is back half- weighted, and we expect low-single digit growth year-over-year on a pro forma basis. But on an entry to exit basis, we expect Lower 48 to grow in the mid-to high-single digits, with the Permian at the higher end of that range.” Source: 2Q 2022 Earnings Call Transcripts/Press Releases
