Narrative:
1ST leg of 4 day rotation. At approximately 10000 ft MSL on climb out captain (PNF) noticed low oil pressure light on right engine flickering. Followed procedures: autothrottle off; thrust lever reduce. Called maintenance/dispatcher. While speaking with maintenance right engine oil pressure dropped to 57-60 psi (red line) with zero quantity indication. Shut down right engine as per procedures. Declared emergency with center; captain assumed control of aircraft; diverted to ZZZ. Conducted single engine landing at ZZZ. Maintenance repaired aircraft (oil cooler malfunction); conducted overweight landing inspection. Aircraft was returned to service after confirming with chief pilot office; continued on to ZZZ1.
