Using receiver function analysis, new seismic models for the Permian Basin region were derived, revealing that sedimentary velocity discontinuities are shallower in sedimentary basins, with Moho depths ranging from 36 km to 46 km. Variations in crustal Vp/Vs ratios among subregions suggest differences in geological structures and rock compositions.
We used receiver function (RF) analysis to derive new seismic models of Moho depth, crustal Vp/Vs ratio, depth of sedimentary velocity discontinuity, and corresponding sedimentary Vp/Vs ratio in the Permian Basin region from the seismic waveform data of 260 moment magnitude (Mw) >= 6 teleseismic events. We obtained the optimal models by searching one- and two-layer models and comparing similarity between the synthetic and observed RFs. We find the first-order velocity discontinuity in sedimentary basins is shallower than the basin basement. The Delaware Basin (DB) exhibits a bowl-shaped sedimentary velocity discontinuity, with depths ranging from 1.7 km to 5.8 km, whereas the Central Basin Platform (CBP) has a shallow sedimentary velocity discontinuity, with 0.2 km to 2.7 km depths. Moho depth ranges from 36 km to 46 km in the Permian Basin region. The median Vp/Vs ratios of the crust are 1.75, 1.79, and 1.78 in the DB, CBP, and the Diablo Platform (DP), respectively. Our interpretation of the different Vp/Vs ratio in the three subregions is that the crust in the DB includes more low-Vp/Vs-ratio felsic rocks, and the crust in the CBP and DP contains more high-Vp/Vs-ratio gabbroic and basaltic rocks from the Proterozoic and Phanerozoic mafic intrusion.
