Integral of $|1/\zeta(\sigma+i T)|$ (or $|(1/\zeta(\sigma+i T))^{(k)}|$) on a horizontal half-line in the left upper quadrant

Let $T_0\geq 20$. Let $L$ be the half-line from $-\infty + i T$ to (say) $-1/2 + i T$. Since $|\zeta(s)|$ is roughly proportional to $(T/2 \pi e)^\sigma$ for $s=\sigma+ i T$ on $L$, it is clear that ...
