What is Cut Plain Geoscience?

Cut Plain Geoscience is Keith Winfree’s independent geology business.  Keith retired from the oil and gas industry in 2021 (Career Summary) and has been generating oil, gas, and helium prospects independently since then.  He seeks to serve clients who need oil and gas prospects and consulting services or expert witness testimony.  Keith also is passionate about earth science education, so this website is dedicated to K-12 science teachers by providing free teaching resources such as virtual field trips and useful links.

The Cut Plain name is taken from an iconic landscape of Texas: the Lampasas Cut Plain which has been important to Keith’s extended family for generations.  The name also reflects a commitment to providing easy-to-understand earth science teaching resources.  Earth science is a very big topic and it must be cut down to size and communicated in plain language to be useful to general audiences.
