I think that is the problem. It's possible, although the inconsistencies seem to occur haphazerdly throughout the episodes rather than being limited to just the first two.

Anyway, I've watched Episode 5 and noticed at least a couple timeline related tidbits.

The Roxxon Gulf website mentions that Vance Caruthers has 8 years' experience in the oil and gas industry, which is when he started working for Roxxon as an engineer. Gideon Green has won the company sponsored golf tournament every year for the past decade, the excerpt for the golf tournament on the Roxxxon events page mentions that it's annual and was held "this week".

The excerpt for the gala page (before Tandy clicks on it) mentions that Roxxon Gulf had gathered on June 11th to celebrate the anniversary of the program. I initially thought that this was another timeline discrepancy, but since it's referred to in past tense, it seems to actually be referring to a previous gathering rather than the upcoming gala, which was later that night.

When O'Reilly is looking through old articles online (seen here), the right side of the screen features two articles of breaking news. The one at the top, dated "1 hour ago", reads "Court annuls Kenya presidential election" and the one below it, dated "2 hours ago", reads "People denied entry to US can reapply". Both of these events happened on September 1, 2017. This obviously conflicts with the February 2017 date we've been assuming so far, so we could just end up dismissing it as referring to the time of filming like we did with the inconsistent dates in Jessica Jones: Season 2.

The article about Billy further affirms that he was 17. The most recent narcotics file visible on screen is dated "02/15/2010", but it seems possible that there could have been even earlier ones if O 'Reilly had scrolled a bit further up.

Peter Scarborough's wikipedia page states that his date of birth is unknown and, as mentioned before, it states that the oil rig exploded in 2009, although it's really blurry and hard to make out.

At the end of the episode, two dates are visible on the Roxxon oil rig schematics. It's upside down and kinda blurry, but the dates appear to be "8/19/2006" for when the schematics were originally made and "9/10/2008" for when they were revised. Given that the revision likely happened before the explosion, it places the event after September 10, 2008, which seems consistent with the 2009 date.
