"I know the US has about 50 bn bbl of tar sands, but I cannot find any info on the API."

What do you mean by API?

Anyhow, here is an article:
deseretnews.com

...stating:
"According to Mark Maddox, a deputy assistant secretary for fossil energy, the Green River Formation — located where the three states come together — contains an estimated 1.8 trillion barrels of oil."....but I guess that counts everything, no matter how hard/expensive it is to get.

Also...while looking about for that info, I found this:
standard.net
....which mentions Bill Barrett Corp, symbol BBG, "which operates 18 natural gas and oil wells on more than 5,000 acres in the Uinta Basin and has rights to drill on 97,000 more acres there."
Might (or not) be interesting.

Typically when they reference Eastern Utah, they take about oil shale, so just be sure what you're buying.
