HOUSTON, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Two of the United

States' largest liquefied natural gas export plants recorded

major declines in demand for natural gas on Monday, suggesting

parts of their facilities might be down, according to data from

financial firm LSEG.

Cheniere's Sabine Pass export facility in Texas,

which utilizes up to 4.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas per

day, was down to 3.7 bcf, and Sempra's ( SRE ) Cameron LNG plant

in Louisiana, which processes 2 bcfd, was down to 1.3 bcf,

according to LSEG data.

Cheniere declined to comment, while Sempra ( SRE ) did not

immediately respond to a request for comment.

Sabine Pass is the United States' largest LNG plant and

Cameron the fourth largest. Together they have helped keep the

U.S. as the world's largest LNG exporter since 2023.

Monday's drop in consumption from those two facilities

pulled the day's demand down to 14.7 bcf, the lowest level in

two months, according to LSEG data.

U.S. natural gas futures fell about 1% on Monday morning,

with front-month gas futures for September delivery on

the New York Mercantile Exchange falling 2 cents to $2.90 per

million British thermal units.
