Halliburton Denies Allegations

Various investigations into the scandal of $180 million bribery in Nigeria involving a subsidiary of US oilfield service company Halliburton and other companies have indicated that payments may have been made to Nigerian officials, according to Halliburton.

Halliburton spokeswoman Wendy Hall said Monday that her company has no concrete knowledge of such payments. "Halliburton's ongoing investigation has still not found any evidence that supports there were any bribes paid," she said.

The allegations center on a contract for a $4 billion Nigerian liquefied natural gas plant awarded in 1995 to TSKJ, a consortium of four partners -- M.W. Kellogg Co., a subsidiary of Dresser Industries; Technip SA of France; ENI SpA of Italy; and Japan Gasoline Corp.

In June Halliburton fired two consultants including former KBR chairman A. Jack Stanley, for violating the company's business code of conduct by receiving "improper personal benefits" related to TSKJ's construction of the Nigerian plant.
