Comments

Lesser twin primes (with the exception of prime 3) are congruent to 5 modulo 6, which implies that distances between successive pairs of twin primes are 6*k.

Formula

a(n) = A052350(n) + 6*n.

Example

a(1)=11 because 11 - 5 = 6*1.
a(2)=41 because 41 - 29 = 6*2.
a(3)=59 because 59 - 41 = 6*3.

Mathematica

Table[a[n] = 0, {n, 1, 10000}]; Table[
b[n] = 0, {n, 1, 10000}]; qq = {}; prev = 5; Do[
If[Prime[n + 1] - Prime[n] == 2, k = (Prime[n] - prev)/6;
  If[b[k] == 0, a[k] = Prime[n]; b[k] = 1]; prev = Prime[n]], {n, 5,
  10000}]; list = Table[a[n], {n, 1, 50}]
