HOUSTON: Two U.S. shale producers have challenged an energy pipeline operator's proposed surcharge for the Trump administration's 25per cent tariff on imported steel, raising the stakes for pipeline builders facing higher construction costs.

Houston-based Plains this month proposed charging shippers a 5 cents per barrel fee on its 670,000 barrel-per-day Cactus II pipeline next April to offset higher construction costs due to the steel tariffs.In their filing, ConocoPhillips and Encana said Plains' surcharge was premature because the U.S. Commerce Department may still grant the pipeline operator an exemption before the fee goes into effect in April. The companies said surcharges"are generally disfavored" by FERC.
