July 27 (Reuters) - Oil and gas producer Cenovus Energy Inc reported a 64% fall in second-quarter profit on Thursday, hurt by lower oil prices and wildfires in Canada's main oil producing province Alberta which forced producers to curtail production.
The Calgary, Alberta-based company reported a net income of C$866 million ($657.41 million), or 44 Canadian cents per share, for the quarter ended June 30, compared with C$2.43 billion, or C$1.19 per share, a year earlier.
