English term or phrase: chocked drill pipe
Selon certains lexiques chocked drill pipe signifie "débloquer" les tiges.

Or voici la phrase qui me cause problème : "

It is the responsability of all workers to ensure that
the first and all subsequent layers of tubulars (including drill pipe) are properly chocked at the time of handling and during subsequent day to day operations.

Un spécialiste en forage peut-il me dépanner? Merci à l'avance.

Explanation:
I think you are confusing choked (étranglé) with chocked (calé).

After all, 'properly chocked' is clearly something beneficial, whereas 'débloquer' refers to a problem.
