Question

Where is north America's largest untapped oil.?

Answer 1

According to Wikipedia it is in Montana

In April 2008, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) released a report giving a new resource assessment of the Bakken Formation underlying portions of Montana and North Dakota. The USGS believes that with new horizontal drilling technology there is somewhere between 3.0 and 4.5 billion barrels (480×106 and 720×106 m3) of recoverable oil remaining to be discovered in this 200,000 square miles (520,000 km²) formation that was initially discovered in 1951. If accurate, this reassessment would make it the largest continuous oil formation ever discovered in the U.S.[47] However, it would represent only a five to seven month supply of oil for the United States at current (2007) rates of consumption.

Reserves of unconventional oil, like oil shale, that would be in the mostly in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming.

Wikipedia states that:A 2005 estimate set the total world resources of oil shale at 411 gigatons — enough to yield 2.8 to 3.3 trillion barrels (520 km³) of shale oil. This is more than world's proven conventional oil reserves, estimated to be 1.317 trillion barrels.

The US has 62% of the worlds reserves of this type of oil.
