Permian Crude System Growth Platform


 
The Permian Phenomenon A massive oil basin of epic proportions…  A pool of more recoverable oil than any field in the world except for Saudi Arabia’s Ghawar  250 miles wide, 300 miles long (75,000 square miles)  The Wolfcamp Formation, all by itself, is estimated to hold 20 billion barrels of oil The world’s hottest oil basin  Many major U.S. E&P firms have shifted resources away from other plays to focus on the Permian ➢ Permian investments reaped double-digit returns in 2017, even with oil barely 60% of what it was in 2014  Currently accounts for 55% of nation’s active oil rigs  If it were a standalone country, the Permian Basin would already rank #7 among the world’s top liquids producers The Basin’s growth projections are unprecedented  Expected to rise to a record 3.5 million barrels of oil per day by year end, over 25% of nation’s output  Could reach 5.0 million barrels a day by the end of 2020, more than either Iran or Iraq  Expected to surge to 8.0-10.0 million barrels per day over next decade, potentially surpassing all OPEC members 10


 
Advances in Drilling Activity and Technology Are Driving the Basin’s Unparalleled Growth • Midland Basin Production Permian Basin rig count, now 485, 3.31 has grown from 342 or 42%, since (MMBOE/D) we acquired our system last May1 2.47 2.57 • The basin’s record-level DUCs will 2.25 2.05 baseload 2018 completion activity, 1.98 1.88 1.70 and experts predict >600mb/d 1.52 growth in 2018 1.28 1.36 Y Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 (e) Q4 (e) Y (e) Y (e) 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 As techniques and technology have evolved, producers have improved well performance, reflected in higher initial production rates (IP) and estimated ultimate recovery (EUR) 1.

Appendix


 
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Information NuStar Energy L.P. utilizes financial measures, such as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), distributable cash flow (DCF) and distribution coverage ratio, which are not defined in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes these financial measures provide useful information to investors and other external users of our financial information because (i) they provide additional information about the operating performance of the partnership’s assets and the cash the business is generating, (ii) investors and other external users of our financial statements benefit from having access to the same financial measures being utilized by management and our board of directors when making financial, operational, compensation and planning decisions and (iii) they highlight the impact of significant transactions. Our board of directors and management use EBITDA and/or DCF when assessing the following: (i) the performance of our assets, (ii) the viability of potential projects, (iii) our ability to fund distributions, (iv) our ability to fund capital expenditures and (v) our ability to service debt. In addition, our board of directors uses a distribution coverage ratio, which is calculated based on DCF, as one of the factors in its compensation determinations. DCF is a widely accepted financial indicator used by the master limited partnership (MLP) investment community to compare partnership performance. DCF is used by the MLP investment community, in part, because the value of a partnership unit is partially based on its yield, and its yield is based on the cash distributions a partnership can pay its unitholders. None of these financial measures are presented as an alternative to net income, or for any period presented reflecting discontinued operations, income from continuing operations. They should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of segment reporting, we do not allocate general and administrative expenses to our reported operating segments because those expenses relate primarily to the overall management at the entity level. Therefore, EBITDA reflected in the segment reconciliations exclude any allocation of general and administrative expenses consistent with our policy for determining segmental operating income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. 28
