The Securities and Exchange Commission has sought the documents from the French company as part of its inquiry into whether TSKJ - a consortium jointly-owned by Technip, Halliburton and two other companies - paid bribes to win a Nigerian construction project. The SEC does not comment on individual investigations. Technip declined to comment. Technip has, since last year, been under investigation by French authorities in connection with allegations that it participated in a bribery scheme to secure lucrative contracts to build a liquefied natural gas plant on Bonny Island, Nigeria. The SEC launched a parallel investigation last month. The fact that US regulators have now set their sights on the French partner in the consortium is significant, given the SEC's broad powers to compel the disclosure of inside information. Technip has denied that it is the direct focus of an investigation. In an untitled press release posted on Christmas Eve, Technip said the French investigation was against "unnamed persons". It also denied the existence, reported in the French media, of "secret payments" to executives, and threatened French newspapers with legal action. Technip's role has been overshadowed in the US by attention focused on Halliburton. The Houston-based oil services company was run by Dick Cheney, US vice-president, during part of the time the payments under investigation were made.
