Narrative:
While in cruise at FL320 we experienced the right oil pressure low light followed by the right oil pressure gauge indicating '0' pressure. The oil temperature was also decreasing while oil quantity remained stable. The captain called for the appropriate QRH checklist and we began to run the checklist while investigating the nearest airport. The closest airport was ZZZ. We experienced some vibration in the engine and the captain advised me to declare an emergency which I did. We began to run all checklists as we turned towards ZZZ. We shut the right engine down and made a single engine landing at ZZZ in VMC. Arff had been notified by ATC as well as us and the company had been called we landed without incident and after arff looked over the airplane we were cleared to taxi to the gate. The passenger were deplaned after consulting with the agent and flight attendants. Rest of flight uneventful.
