May 10 (Reuters) - Pipeline operator Enbridge ( ENB )

beat market estimates for first-quarter profit on Friday, as

demand remained strong amid an uptick in oil production across

North America.

On an adjusted basis, Enbridge ( ENB ) reported a quarterly profit

of 92 Canadian cents per share for the three months ended March

31, compared with analysts' average estimate of 81 Canadian

cents per share, according to LSEG data.
