Petro-Canada said Thursday it widened its profits significantly during this year's second quarter.

The Calgary-based company said it netted $845 million during the three months ended June 30, compared to $472 million during the same period a year ago.

Cash flow for the quarter was $1.35 billion, up from $754 million during the second quarter of 2006.
