Aug 1 (Reuters) - Cenovus Energy ( CVE ) posted a rise
in second-quarter profit on Thursday, as the Canadian oil and
gas company benefited from higher throughput volumes and an
increase in production.
The Calgary, Alberta-based company's net income rose to C$1
billion ($723.01 million), or 53 Canadian cents per share, in
the April-June quarter, from C$866 million, or 44 Canadian cents
per share, a year earlier.
