    HOUSTON, Aug 24 (Reuters) - U.S. LNG producer Cheniere
Energy's  LNG.N  Corpus Christi LNG export plant in Texas
continued to show reduced natural gas demand on Monday,
according to preliminary data from financial firm LSEG,
suggesting maintenance work at the facility remains underway.
    Corpus Christi on track to consume about 1.8 billion cubic
feet per day (bcfd) of natural gas, down from its typical intake
of around 2.6 bcfd.
    * Corpus Christi is the United States' third-largest LNG
export facility, while Cheniere is the largest LNG exporter.
    * Cheniere did not immediately to a request for comment.
    * Feedgas deliveries to all U.S. LNG export plants totaled
about 16.7 bcfd on Monday, below the nearly 18 bcfd the
country's LNG facilities can process.
    * The U.S. is the world's largest LNG exporter and a key
supplier of the supercooled fuel to global markets. 
    * The reduction in feedgas flows comes as global LNG markets
remain supported by supply concerns linked to the ongoing
conflict involving Iran.
