Narrative:

Oil loss, divert to bda. At XA40Z over the atlantic at FL320, the first officer came into the cabin to tell me that I should come back into the cockpit. I was on my break. Arriving in the cockpit, the first officer and international relief first officer briefed me on the loss of engine oil in #2 engine. The quantity showed 1 quart, the engine temperature was slightly higher than the left engine, and the oil pressure was about 26 psi with some dips to below 25 psi showing an intermittent amber exceedance. Following the procedure, we increased the left engine to maximum continuous power and brought #2 to idle. A satcom call was placed to dispatch and patched into maintenance. Maintenance advised against running engine in amber zone for long. At idle, engine still went into amber. I made the decision to shut down engine, clear the nat track, and descend to FL240 and proceed to bda. New york radio was notified via a HF pan, pan, pan, and an emergency was declared. We were about 2 hours out of bda so the passenger were not informed of the situation until 1 hour out and were given an excellent briefing by the purser. We briefed a full emergency landing and the evacuate/evacuation procedure, but passenger were given all assurances that landing would be normal. Restarted engine 20 mi out of bda and kept it in reserve and only adding minimal power on short final. No red exceedances were noted. Landing was not overweight, and was normal in all respects. Terminated emergency with bda tower. Crew responded in a wonderfully professional manner as evidenced by the very grateful looks of the passenger deplaning bda.
