Abstract
An electrical submersible well pump installation has a downhole secondary pump for pumping scale inhibiting chemicals below the downhole pumping assembly. The downhole pumping assembly includes a centrifugal primary pump driven by an electrical motor located below the pump and separated by a seal section for preventing well fluids from entering the motor. The secondary pump is also driven by the motor and is located between the seal section and the primary pump. The secondary pump has an intake connected to a tube that extends upwardly above the intake of the primary pump. The secondary pump has a discharge port connected to a discharge tube that extends downwardly to a point below the motor. Chemicals introduced at the surface into the annulus flow downwardly into the intake of the secondary pump and are discharged below the motor. The secondary pump has an inverted impeller and diffuser that have a discharge on the lower end for discharging fluids downwardly.
