Abstract
A device, method, and program product detect and break an occurrence of gas lock in an electrical submersible pump assembly in a well bore based upon surface or downhole data without the need for operator intervention. The system provides the ability to flush the pump and return the system back to production without requiring system shutdown. In addition, the system provides an algorithm for controlling a pump operating speed of the electrical submersible pump assembly to maximize production from the well bore.
