Just as an aside, earthquakes are a likely outcome whenever you push fluid under pressure into the ground. Like, when you build dams. Fluids get pushed into old faults and lubricate them, causing earthquakes (because they can slide easier) of considerably lower magnitude (because they can slide easier). There is nothing new here.
