The Company has a $3.0 billion, five-year unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires on June 27, 2022. The Company has the right to increase the commitments under this agreement to an aggregate amount of up to $4.0 billion upon the consent of only those lenders holding any such increase. Interest under the multicurrency facility is based upon LIBOR, NIBOR or CDOR plus 1.125% subject to a ratings-based grid or the U.S. prime rate. The credit facility contains a financial covenant regarding maximum debt-to-capitalization ratio of 60%. As of September 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with a debt-to-capitalization ratio of 25.4%.

The Company has a commercial paper program under which borrowings are classified as long-term since the program is supported by the $3.0 billion, five-year credit facility. At September 30, 2019, there were no commercial paper borrowings and no outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility, resulting in $3.0 billion of funds available under this credit facility.

The Company had $456 million of outstanding letters of credit at September 30, 2019, primarily in the U.S. and Norway, that are under various bilateral letter of credit facilities. Letters of credit are issued as bid bonds, advanced payment bonds and performance bonds.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of the Company’s unsecured Senior Notes approximated $2,422 million and $2,211 million, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy and is based on quoted prices for those of similar instruments.
