Two giant projects that will allow the US to send more of its shale gas overseas are inching forward.

Sempra recently issued a so-called limited notice to proceed to its contractor Bechtel, which clears the way for the early stages of construction to begin at its Port Arthur liquefied natural gas project in Texas. NextDecade Corp. issued a similar notice to Bechtel for its Rio Grande LNG project, also in the Lone Star State, a document seen by Bloomberg shows.
