An apparatus for agitating production fluid in a reservoir comprises a pump having a lower pump intake and an upper pump output. A port adapter is connected to the pump output and defines a bypass port in a wall thereof. An output conduit is connected to the port adapter and to a surface facility. A circulating conduit is secured to the pump and connected to the bypass port. A circulating nozzle is connected to the lower end of the circulating conduit and defines an orifice operative to restrict flow through the circulating conduit. The pump intake and circulating nozzle are in the reservoir when production fluid is being pumped, and production fluid flows up the output conduit to the surface facility and also through the circulating conduit and circulating nozzle into the reservoir. A method comprises re-circulating a portion of pumped fluid back into the reservoir to agitate the reservoir.
