Recognition and measurement All borrowings are initially recognised at fair value less transaction costs. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds received and the redemption amount is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings designated as a hedged item are measured at amortised cost adjusted to record changes in the fair value of risks that are being hedged in fair value hedges. The changes in the fair value risks of the hedged item resulted in a gain of $7 million being recorded (2021: gain of $5 million), and a loss of $7 million recorded on the hedging instrument (2021: loss of $7 million). All bonds, notes and facilities are subject to various covenants and negative pledges restricting future secured borrowings, subject to a number of permitted lien exceptions. Neither the covenants nor the negative pledges have been breached at any time during the reporting period. Fair value The carrying amount of interest-bearing liabilities approximates their fair value, with the exception of the Group’s unsecured bonds and the medium term notes. The unsecured bonds have a carrying amount of $4,084 million (2021: $4,081 million) and a fair value of $3,852 million (2021: $4,443 million). The medium term notes have a carrying amount of $385 million (2021: $592 million) and a fair value of $372 million (2021: $604 million). Fair value is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date and classified as Level 1 on the fair value hierarchy. Where these cash flows are in a foreign currency, the present value is converted to US dollars at the foreign exchange spot rate prevailing at the reporting date. The Group’s repayment obligations remain unchanged. Foreign exchange risk All interest-bearing liabilities are denominated in US dollars, excluding the CHF175 million medium term note. Maturity profile of interest-bearing liabilities The table below presents the contractual undiscounted cash flows associated with the Group’s interest-bearing liabilities, representing principal and interest. The figures will not necessarily reconcile with the amounts disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Amounts exclude transaction costs. Bilateral facilities The Group has 14 bilateral loan facilities totalling $2,050 million (2021: 14 bilateral loan facilities totalling $1,900 million). Details of bilateral loan facilities at the reporting date are as follows:
Number of facilities |  | Term (years) |  | Currency |  | Extension option
1 |  | 5 - 6 |  | US$ |  | Evergreen
5 |  | 4 - 5 |  | US$ |  | Evergreen
4 |  | 3 - 4 |  | US$ |  | Evergreen
4 |  | 3 years or less |  | US$ |  | Evergreen
Interest rates are based on USD LIBOR or Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and margins are fixed at the commencement of the drawdown period. Interest is paid at the end of the drawdown period. Evergreen facilities may be extended continually by a year subject to the bank’s agreement. Syndicated facility During the period, Woodside refinanced and increased the existing facilities to $2,000 million, with $800 million expiring on 11 October 2024, $600 million expiring on 12 July 2025 and $600 million expiring on 12 July 2027. Interest rates are based on SOFR and margins are fixed at the commencement of the drawdown period. On 17 January 2020, the Group completed a $600 million syndicated facility with a term of seven years. Interest is based on the USD LIBOR plus 1.2%. Interest is paid on a quarterly basis. Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC) facility On 24 June 2008, the Group entered into a two tranche committed loan facility of $1,000 million and $500 million respectively. The $500 million tranche was repaid in 2013. There is a prepayment option for the remaining balance. Interest rates are based on USD LIBOR. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears and the principal amortises on a straight-line basis, with equal instalments of principal due on each interest payment date (every six months). Under this facility, 90% of the receivables from designated Pluto LNG sale and purchase agreements are secured in favour of the lenders through a trust structure, with a required reserve amount of $30 million. To the extent that this reserve amount remains fully funded and no default notice or acceleration notice has been given, the revenue from Pluto LNG continues to flow directly to the Group from the trust account. Medium term notes On 28 August 2015, the Group established a $3,000 million Global Medium Term Notes Programme listed on the Singapore Stock Exchange. Two notes have been issued under this programme as set out below:
Maturity date |  | Currency |  |  | Carrying amount (million) |  |  | Nominal interest rate |
11 December 2023 |  |  | CHF |  |  |  | 185 |  |  |  | 1.00 | %
29 January 2027 |  |  | US$ |  |  |  | 200 |  |  |  | 3.07 | %
The unutilised program is not considered to be an unused facility. US bonds The Group has four unsecured bonds issued in the United States of America as defined in Rule 144A of the US Securities Act of 1933 as set out below:
Maturity date |  |  |  |  | Carrying amount US$m |  |  | Nominal interest rate |
5 March 2025 |  |  |  |  |  |  | 1,000 |  |  |  | 3.65 | %
15 September 2026 |  |  |  |  |  |  | 800 |  |  |  | 3.70 | %
15 March 202 8 |  |  |  |  |  |  | 800 |  |  |  | 3.70 | %
4 March 2029 |  |  |  |  |  |  | 1,500 |  |  |  | 4.50 | %
Interest on the bonds is payable semi-annually in arrears. During the period, the Group repaid $200 million of the Yucho 2022 Medium Term Note and $83 million of the JBIC facility.
