The big oil patch news of the day was Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.

Production for the quarter was 860,920 barrels of oil equivalent a day, slightly under analysts' predictions of 873,182, but despite this, cash flow per share came to $2.16, surpassing analysts' predictions of $2.05. The company nudged its quarterly dividend up to 23 cents from 22.5 cents, for a yield of 2.4 per cent.
