Abstract:
A downhole production assembly includes a downhole pump that can be positioned at a downhole location in a wellbore, and a cavitation chamber located upstream of an inlet of the downhole pump in the wellbore. The cavitation chamber can induce cavitation in a wellbore fluid pumped in the uphole direction by the downhole pump to prevent scaling on the downhole pump.
