Dec 11 (Reuters) - Tellurian said on Monday it had named insider Daniel Belhumeur president, days after the U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) developer ousted co-founder Charif Souki as chairman.

Belhumer served as the company's general counsel and chief compliance officer since 2017.

The firm named Meredith Mouer as Belhumer's successor. Mouer was deputy general counsel since 2017.

Co-founder Martin Houston will take over as chairman, the company said on Friday, with Souki staying on as a member of the Board.

The top level changes come as Tellurian struggles with potential customers withdrawing from its flagship project, the Driftwood LNG export facility.
