In some embodiments, a system for producing fluid from a well can include an electrical submersible pump (ESP) disposed in a wellbore of the well and configured to pump the fluid. The system may further include a distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) system, for example having an interrogator unit and a fiber optic cable extending downhole in the wellbore. An end of the fiber optic cable can be disposed downhole relative to the ESP. In embodiments, the system may further include a controller configured to receive data from the DAS system, process the data to detect a slug, determine a parameter of the detected slug, and alter operation of the ESP in response to determining that the parameter exceeds a threshold.
