Electric submersible pump operating parameters

A system comprising:

• one or more processors configured to perform operations comprising:
• determining a target production rate for a wellbore equipped with an electric submersible pump (ESP);
• providing the target production rate as input to a neural network that provides as output ESP operating parameters to achieve the target production rate, the ESP operating parameters comprising a choke size percentage and a motor speed, and the neural network modeling an ESP-equipped wellbore;
• and
• controlling the ESP to operate according to the ESP operating parameters.

A non-transitory computer storage medium encoded with instructions that, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• determining a target production rate for a wellbore equipped with an electric submersible pump (ESP);
• providing the target production rate as input to a neural network that provides as output ESP operating parameters to achieve the target production rate, the ESP operating parameters comprising a choke size percentage and a motor speed, and the neural network modeling an ESP-equipped wellbore;
• and
• controlling the ESP to operate according to the ESP operating parameters.
