How much energy do the major oil companies use up to extract out the oil currently per barrel? I am attempting to work out a carbon footprint, but cannot find how much CO2 is used simply to get the oil, from things such as the mining drilling equipment and processing.

TSport Mat's answer doesn't apply to the vast majority of oil. The 0.12 tonnes of CO2 per barrel of oil only applies for making synthetic crude oil from oil sands. This is a very energy intensive process.
Regular oil is going to be significantly lower then that figure. I've found numbers ranging from 0.06 to 0.02 tonnes of CO2 per barrel for extracting crude oil, but none of them comes from what I would consider a definitive source.
