Does it sound like it could be this?
"In the oil and gas industry, flowlines are pipe lines that connect a single wellhead to a manifold or process equipment. In a larger well field, multiple flowlines may connect individual wells to a manifold. Then a gathering line may transfer the flow from the manifold to a pre-process stage or to a transportation facility or vessel."

In the Schlumberger glossary they're described as follows:
"gathering lines
English | Español
1. n. [Production Facilities]
The pipes used to transport oil and gas from a field to the main pipeline in the area."
https://www.glossary.oilfield.slb.com/en/Terms/g/gathering_l...
Yet its Spanish translation there is "línea de recolección":
"líneas de recolección
English | Español
1. S. [Instalaciones de producción]
Tubos utilizados para transportar petróleo y gas desde un campo hasta la línea de conducción principal del área."

Here's another example from Schlumberger:

2. n. [Production Facilities]
In a gathering system, a pipe arrangement that connects flowlines from several wellheads into a single gathering line."

The potential issue with this translation is that in other texts they refer to the pipeline leading into the manifold the gathering line:
"Oil and gas production handbook An introduction to oil and ...www.saudienergy.net
A production riser (offshore) or gathering line (onshore) brings the well flow into the manifolds. As the reservoir is produced, wells may fall in pressure and ..."

Es a un tipo de línea (ducto pequeño) que se emplea en la operación para transportar la producción hacia otra instalación.
The problem with some of these technical terms is that they can vary from country to country, or be specific to one company, or even be a unique term coined by the writer. The only way to translate them is to find out what function they apply to.
