Canadian Natural Resources reports fall in fourth-quarter profit

March 6 (Reuters) - Oil and gas company Canadian Natural Resources CNQ.TO on Thursday posted a fall in fourth-quarter profit as weaker commodity prices overshadowed a rise in production.

The Calgary, Alberta-based company's net income fell to C$1.14 billion ($794.76 million), or 54 Canadian cents per share, in the three months ended December 31, from C$2.63 billion, or C$1.21, a year earlier.
