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/

What these people fail to understand is that there IS a popular way to raise taxes: Tax very wealthy people a lot more and enforce the laws so wealthy people don't get away with avoiding taxes they should be paying.
Also get rid of the carried interest deduction and jack up inheritance taxes for estates starting in the hundreds of millions. All this would be VERY popular. It would affect a relatively small number of very wealthy people and would raise hundreds of billions of $ every year.

You weren't listening carefully enough to Kieren Mayer's presentation. Slide 14 shows total life cycle emissions including manufacturing of equipment and discs for three modes of gaming.
The key is that USE PHASE dominates in most cases, so your statement about "massive hardware emissions" doesn't track with reality, although in some use cases embedded emissions can be consequential.
My experience having collaborated with the Playstation folks for years in understanding environmental impacts is that they care very much about getting the numbers right. They show that by funding work that gets published in the peer reviewed literature, among other ways.
Also, many people don't know that lead is still allowed in aviation gasoline, because the FAA thinks "no safe alternative is currently available". faa.gov/news/fact_shee…
With the advent of electrified light planes, though, we now have a safe and superior alternative. cnn.com/travel/article…
Our rebuttal: Masanet, Eric, Arman Shehabi, Nuoa Lei, Harald Vranken, Jonathan Koomey, and Jens Malmodin. 2019. "Implausible projections overestimate near-term Bitcoin CO2 emissions." Nature Climate Change. vol. 9, no. 9. 2019/09/01. pp. 653-654. [doi.org/10.1038/s41558…]
We reproduced the authors' model almost exactly, so we know what they did. We showed that their conclusions made no sense in several ways, but the authors just denied the validity of our valid points in their riposte to our rebuttal.
Setting a coal phase-out date (2030 or sooner for developed countries) is the most important single step most nations can take on climate. Of course it's not the only necessary step, but it's a big one.
This is another example of a critically important constraint on the supply side (it's not just about reducing demand).
