Happy translating! ;o) Maria

contribution stock

Glosario de la industria petrolera (Pennwell Publishing, 1947) lists:
material de base - base stock
material de carga - charge stock
material para láminas de calzar - shim stock
material de aporte is NOT listed, however, Larousse provides: contribution (Amer.) for aporte

runoff material

I’m not 100% sure about this, but based on the following information I am going to hazard a guess that it refers to “runoff material.”

Some examples of the expression in Spanish:

Emprender de inmediato los estudios pertinentes para lograr un eficiente control de torrentes en aquellas cuencas que así lo ameriten. Construir a la brevedad canales de desagüe que controlen el escurrimiento de agua y sedimentos hacia el mar, así como espigones de encauzamiento, que confinen el caudal y el material de aporte de eventuales torrentes infrecuentes.

1. Inspección preliminar al agente generador (Río Pallina) en todos los sectores críticos; área de aporte de la cuenca, meandros, sitios de puente, planicies inundables, y comprensión de las características particulares del río, pluviometría, caudal, pendiente de escorrentía, características del material de aporte, y estadísticas de eventos anteriores, donde se obtuvo:

From EuroDicAutom: aporte seems to be a variation of aportación as used here.
Subject - Structures on the land (=BAD) - Geology - geomorphology (nt: structure of the Earth)(=GO6)

And here’s a text in English that refers to a similar situation.

The effect of basin size on material load also is evident from these data. In the small basins, essentially all of the material that washes off the land surface reaches the basin outlet, so the load is high. In the large basins, runoff material travels farther and load decreases as material settles to the streambed, undergoes instream chemical transformations, and is diluted by inflows

You might want to see if it fits your context, anyway. :-)

are these simply "additives"?

If speaking of original drilling site without alterations, forget this suggestion. Soil additives are used for decontaminating petroleum-polluted areas.
