(1) 
We classified these commercial paper notes and credit facility borrowings as short-term as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, as these notes and borrowings were primarily designated as working capital borrowings, were required to be repaid within one year and were primarily for hedged NGL and crude oil inventory and NYMEX and ICE margin deposits.
(2) 
As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, balance includes borrowings of $194 million and $410 million, respectively, for cash margin deposits with NYMEX and ICE, which are associated with financial derivatives used for hedging purposes. 
(3) 
As of September 30, 2017, we have classified our $600 million, 6.50% senior notes due May 2018 as long-term and as of both September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we have classified a portion of our commercial paper notes as long-term based on our ability and intent to refinance such amounts on a long-term basis.
(4) 
Our fixed-rate senior notes (including current maturities) had a face value of approximately $9.9 billion and $10.3 billion as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. We estimated the aggregate fair value of these notes as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 to be approximately $10.0 billion and $10.4 billion, respectively. Our fixed-rate senior notes are traded among institutions, and these trades are routinely published by a reporting service. Our determination of fair value is based on reported trading activity near the end of the reporting period. We estimate that the carrying value of outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities and commercial paper program approximates fair value as interest rates reflect current market rates. The fair value estimates for our senior notes, credit facilities and commercial paper program are based upon observable market data and are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Credit Facilities

In August 2017, we extended the maturity dates of our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, senior secured hedged inventory facility and senior unsecured 364-day revolving credit facility to August 2022, August 2020 and August 2018, respectively, for each extending lender. Additionally, a provision was added to the 364-day revolving credit facility agreement whereby we may elect to have the entire principal balance of any loans outstanding on the maturity date of the 364-day revolving credit facility converted into a non-revolving term loan with a maturity date of August 2019.

Borrowings and Repayments
 
Total borrowings under our credit facilities and commercial paper program for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were approximately $52.6 billion and $41.4 billion, respectively. Total repayments under our credit facilities and commercial paper program were approximately $52.7 billion and $41.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The variance in total gross borrowings and repayments is impacted by various business and financial factors including, but not limited to, the timing, average term and method of general partnership borrowing activities.
 
Letters of Credit
 
In connection with our supply and logistics activities, we provide certain suppliers with irrevocable standby letters of credit to secure our obligation for the purchase and transportation of crude oil, NGL and natural gas. Additionally, we issue letters of credit to support insurance programs, derivative transactions and construction activities. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had outstanding letters of credit of $95 million and $73 million, respectively.

Senior Notes Repayments

Our $400 million, 6.13% senior notes were repaid in January 2017. We utilized cash on hand and available capacity under our commercial paper program and credit facilities to repay these notes.
