CALGARY - Meg Energy Corp. says it earned $98 million in its first quarter, up from $81 million during the same quarter last year.
Meg Energy CEO Darlene Gates says the additional pipeline capacity from the start-up of the Trans Mountain expansion is expected to narrow heavy oil differentials, reduce differential volatility and improve netbacks on the company's production.
The Calgary-based company's revenues totalled $1.4 billion, down from $1.5 billion a year earlier.
Diluted earnings per share were 36 cents, up from 28 cents.
Bitumen production averaged about 104,000 barrels per day during the period ended March 31.
