Note 9—Debt

 

Our revolving credit facility provides a total commitment of $6.0 billion and expires in May 2023. Our revolving credit facility may be used for direct bank borrowings, the issuance of letters of credit totaling up to $500 million, or as support for our commercial paper program. Our commercial paper program consists of the ConocoPhillips Company $6.0 billion program, primarily a funding source for short-term working capital needs. Commercial paper maturities are generally limited to 90 days.

 

We had no commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. We had no direct outstanding borrowings or letters of credit under the revolving credit facility at June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018. Since we had no commercial paper outstanding and had issued no letters of credit, we had access to $6.0 billion in borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility at June 30, 2019.

 

At June 30, 2019, we had $283 million of certain variable rate demand bonds (VRDBs) outstanding with maturities ranging through 2035. The VRDBs are redeemable at the option of the bondholders on any business day. If they are ever redeemed, we intend to refinance on a long-term basis, therefore, the VRDBs are included in the “Long-term debt” line on our consolidated balance sheet.
