NEW YORK, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Plains All American's crude oil pipelines linking the Permian shale basin to the Corpus Christi export hub are facing quality issues related to high mercaptans, or naturally-occurring sulfur compounds, according to sources familiar with the matter and a notice seen by Reuters.
Plains in recent days has sent notices to shippers that it will begin charging a half a dollar fee on every barrel that fails to meet mercaptan specifications on some of its pipelines in the Gulf Coast region, according to a notice to shippers seen by Reuters and two of the sources.
Plains did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
