Anadarko Seeks Extension for CBRS Band

Oil and gas producer Oxy, and subsidiary Anadarko, asked the FCC to extend until Jan. 8, 2023, licenses that fall under the citizens broadband radio service transition. The licenses cover leases in New Mexico, Texas, Utah, Colorado and elsewhere in the Gulf of Mexico. That date is when its last license expires, Oxy filed in docket 18-353. The companies “rely heavily on the 3650-3700 MHz band to provide critical monitoring and automation for oil and gas production systems,” Oxy said: “The 3650-3700 MHz networks that the Parties have operated on for the last nine years support telemetry and pipeline measurement data systems."
