Explanation:
I believe that this means that the operations are carried out on site where petrol is being drilled and off site, around the areas that are being worked.

Explanation:
Another possibility:

It mean that the inerting operation ("inertage", which is making the mud inert) can be done in-line (can be integrated as part of the drilling/extracting/... process) or offline (separatly, eg. in a laboratory by transporting the mud and treating it separatly,...)
