2011 EBITDA expected to be down due primarily to
lower throughputs
Transportation Segment EBITDA
(in Millions)
2011 Summary
Eagle Ford shale crude project with Koch Pipeline Company completed in
June 2011.  Throughput and deficiency agreement for 30,000 BPD
Throughputs projected to be down 7% to 8%.  Heavy customer refinery
turnaround schedule and increased export demand for distillates could
negatively impact throughputs on NuStar’s Corpus to Houston refined
products pipeline
Full year 2011 segment EBITDA expected to be $5 to $15 million lower than

Shale
Oil
Growth/Technology
Key shale oil developments are located in NuStar’s Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast
regions, including the Eagle Ford, Bakken, Granite Wash, Barnett, Mississippian and
Niobrara
NuStar’s assets are well positioned to capitalize on the expanding unconventional oil
& gas developments
A
key
strategic
objective
is
to
grow
earnings
from
fee-based
logistics
services
Redeploying existing and/or build new pipelines
and terminals in the shale oil regions
Diversifying customer base and expanding
logistics services for crude oil, condensate
and NGLs through asset modifications,
expansions and strategic acquisitions

San Antonio Refinery acquisition expected
to be a solid contributor to our
Asphalt & Fuels Marketing segment
Approximately 70% of refinery production is hedged (spread
between WTI and refined products) over the next three to four
years
New 8”
crude pipeline from Elmendorf should reduce transportation
costs and unplanned refinery outages
by improving crude supply logistics
Expect refinery to generate around $15 million of EBITDA in 2011
Slightly lower than expected due to increased crude costs
14,500 BPD refinery acquired for $41
million plus working capital
YTD Run rates  ~11,500 BPD
Processes crude and condensate from
nearby Eagle Ford shale and
other South Texas formations
Produces and sells jet fuel, ULSD,
naphtha, reformate and LPG’s


2011 Summary
Currently market out of four NuStar locations:
St Eustatius
Pt Tupper
Texas City
Los Angeles
NuStar Bunker sales volumes are up 98% since 2009
since adding new marketing operations at Texas
City and Los Angeles.
Dependable and competitively priced supply is key to making a successful Bunker
Marketing operation. Term purchases make up 55% of total supply of bunker fuel
2012 Outlook
Looking to expand in more markets where we can gather our own supply and
effectively penetrate the market

Asphalt Operations initiatives to lower
supply costs and improve margins
2011 Summary
Asphalt Demand is down 1.5% thru June on an annualized basis
However, East Coast asphalt prices have averaged $50 per ton premium over
the Mid-Continent and Gulf Coast rack prices
Midwest refiners with lower feedstock costs have incentive to supply East
Coast markets
Asphalt results expected to be lower than 2010
2012 Initiatives
Entered into 10,000 barrel per day Peregrino Crude Oil Purchase
agreement with Statoil.  Contract commences December 2011.
Pursuing  Heavy Canadian rail supplied crude for Paulsboro and Savannah
refineries
Pursuing asphalt off-take agreements with regional suppliers to create  more
flexibility within system to take advantage arb’s


Heavy Oil Trading –
Texas City rail blending
hub has become dependable outlet for Midwest refiners
Texas City has become a dependable rail
outlet for heavy oils from Midwest refiners
-
volumes expected to be up 50% vs. 2010
Midwest refinery utilization is currently
above 93%, providing ample supply of VTB’s
Texas City is a true Black Oil blending hub
gathering heavy oils, asphalts, slurry oil and
other blend stocks to blend into either
bunker fuel, asphalt or fuel oil 
Most of the Heavy Oil bought is blended into
Bunker Fuel and sold internally to our Bunker
Marketing Group at Texas City; the remainder
is sold into the Houston area spot market

Brent crude is trading at historically high
premiums  over WTI
Gulf Coast Light Louisiana Sweet (LLS) is also
trading at historically high premiums to WTI
Increased production of  Bakken crude in
North Dakota  and Eagle Ford  in South
Texas can be railed to  our waterborne
terminals and marketed to gulf coast refiners
St. James is a Hub Terminal located in the
center of the Gulf Coast domestic crude
trading and blending market
Currently can gather up to 10,000 barrels per
day on manifest rail
Texas City is our newest gathering point  for Eagle Ford crude
Currently can receive truck and rail up to 3,000 barrels per day
2012 Outlook
Looking for ways to expand volumes at St James into a unit train
Looking to expand truck capabilities at  Texas City by adding additional offloading lanes

NuStar’s Vision and Strategy
Demonstrate excellence in safety and environmental performance,
operations, customer service and community involvement
Develop St. James Terminal into an integrated hub location to
capitalize on opportunities for light sweet crude blending and
heavy crude blending
St James Terminal provides unique market advantages due to
access to key logistics and markets
Grow hub terminal with fee-based business while providing access
to key niche markets for margin-based opportunities
Fee business provides base revenue to support critical
infrastructure improvements with a reasonable return on the

Employees naturally embraced NuStar’s culture and have
demonstrated excellence in safety, environmental, community
service and customer satisfaction
Implementation of hub strategy has more than doubled the total
storage capacity of the facility and current project plans schedule
through 2012 could quadruple the storage capacity
Integrating NuStar MS&T into the hub terminal landscape has
created niche rail pipeline opportunities to capture emerging
Bakken crude play
Future remains bright at St James with high customer interest and
opportunities to continue storage expansion, and expand our unit
train rail capabilities.
A Bright Future for St. James
