It's easy to show, that if X and 2X-1 are both non-prime, then the X'th
triangular number ((X*X+X)/2) is in that sequence. I expect there are
infinitely many such X's, and so the sequence is infinite.
Quickly checking the first 3000 terms, I see that "216" is the only one
which is not such a triangular number. I wonder if there are others.
