Abstract
A rod pump system is configured to provide efficient pumping operations in a downhole environment containing high gas content, using a non-locking actuator. The non-locking actuator assembly is configured to respond to high-gas conditions and automatically overcome a gas locked pump state thereby returning the system to normal pumping conditions. This system is appended to the traveling valve closed cage within a conventional rod pump in place of a conventional seat plug.
