Narrative:
On descent from top of cruise; we experienced what looked to be an engine malfunction. We were on a clearance to descend to 15;000 MSL and were somewhere around 30;000 MSL when I noticed the right engine oil quantity and oil pressure indicators both turned red and indicated 0 in each. The engine temperature remained normal. I was flying the airplane and continued to do so. The captain ran the checklist. We shut down the right engine and declared an emergency. ATC gave us a new clearance to proceed directly to destination and descend to 9;000 MSL. We accomplished all checklists and requested arff. We landed normally; and stopped on the runway for inspection. All was good. We then proceeded to the gate. The captain wrote it up in the log book. Maintenance was there to meet the airplane.
