The best way to lay and bury a pipeline offshore is to perform both operations simultaneously. Historically these two operations have been separate but recently a simultaneous lay and bury technique has been developed that is technically feasible and cost effective. The technique employs a patented Sea Plow that cuts a trench in the ocean floor into which the pipeline is laid. The operation and performance of the Sea Plow are described.
