Narrative:
We noticed low oil pressure on oil pressure indicator. We thought we had an indication problem, but 15 mins later the oil pressure warning light illuminated and the #1 engine shut down in-flight. We declared an emergency, secured the engine and elected to start a descent towards sioux city. Approach and landing was uneventful.
