Petrographic and electron-microscopic study of Tertiary clays and argillaceous rocks lifted from deep drillholes of Azerbaidzhan reveals their porometric characteristics. It is established that these rocks are incompletely consolidated and it is inferred that there is a connection between such a structure or pore space in argillaceous rocks and the development in them of abnormally high pressures of pore fluids, and that these factors affect the screening off properties of argillaceous seals, the mechanism of folding, clay diapirism and earthquakes.
