What is Geoscience?
he central theme of the Geosciences is to develop a complete understanding of the Earth system demands that GEO support discovery in a vast number of disciplines as well as in an interdisciplinary context. Supported studies range in spatial dimension from solar processes which ultimately effect the Earth to studies of microbial life within the Earth\'s suboceanic crust, and temporally from processes such as chemical reactions which take place in an instant, to processes such as continental drift which take place over millennia.

(real-life) meaning of this is: "company doing geological surveys & exploration"
Geosciences companies do surveys/studies to produce data useful in finding deposits of mineral resources - including oil and gas deposits.
So in your case the Polish company is basically looking (for oil&gas?) on land and under the seabed - probably on the so-called "coastal shelf".
