37. Oil and water can act as lubricants...

...but in general, they don't make much of a difference unless they're injected into places where they previously didn't exist. There's no correlation between the location of oil and fault boundaries. The type of plate boundary that caused the recent unpleasantness is already full of water anyway, carried down into the trench by the subducting plate. It's not really relevant in this case.
