Very important effort here. Some relevant sources for oil and gas follow.
For upstream oil emissions, our Science article and associated supplemental information contains data for most global oil fields (98% of 2015 production), though it may not have the precise data on ownership required for your effort.

Emissions for oil in particular are much more than just those related to combustion, they also include upstream discovery and extraction, midstream refining, and transportation to end-users.
When we looked at total life cycle emissions for oil on a per barrel basis, we found differences big enough to matter. Summary and context here:

The 2nd iteration of our oil climate index giving total lifecycle emissions per barrel of oil is here: oci.carnegieendowment.org
Working on the third iteration (called OCI +), incorporating updated data as well as some data on gas. Beta site here: dxgordon.github.io/OCIPlus/
