If there was a very minor tremor as things settled after fracking, you could probably make a connection. A proper quake is unlikely.
I've read articles that claim that localized earthquakes were caused during the fracking process of Enhanced Geothermal, and that when it was halted, the quaking stopped as well.

I don't know...I'm still reading on the subject. I was hoping someone could add a few more links for me to read.
