I've heard that the micro-quakes are likely to reduce the big quakes that cause damage. The analogy is that it lubricates the faults causing an increased amount of smaller adjustments rather than big catastrophic quakes.
It would be interesting if similar technology were used to mitigate large quakes in the future. Humans affecting earth quakes is unprecedented.
