Revenue for the quarter, less royalties, rose to C$15.68 billion from C$13.76 billion last year
Production for the period averaged 800,900 barrels of oil equivalent a day, down slightly on the previous quarter but up from 779,000 a barrels a year earlier and slightly higher than the 799,200 barrels a day expected by analysts polled by FactSet.
