There has been a lot of research into fracking. You are basically replacing hydrocarbons in the pore space with water. Biggest issue is dealing with the water that returns to the surface with the oil. It is mostly reused to frack with so it is recycled. Does seem to be a correlation with earthquake activity but even that is a good thing as it releases stresses in small amounts versus them building up and resulting in a more significant event.
