Nov 2 (Reuters) - Canadian oil and gas firm Cenovus Energy's quarterly profit rose on Thursday, helped by strong demand for crude oil amid tight supplies and higher production.

The Calgary, Alberta-based company reported net income of C$1.86 billion ($1.35 billion), or 97 Canadian cents per share, for the quarter ended Sept. 30, compared with C$1.61 billion, or 81 Canadian cents per share, a year earlier.
