US natural gas driller EQT Corp. is in talks to take a supply of liquefied natural gas from NextDecade Corp.’s export terminal, which is being built in Texas.

Under the terms of the potential deal, EQT would load the super-chilled fuel from the Rio Grande LNG facility, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified because the discussions are confidential.
