Narrative:

We were enroute passing FL200 in climb. The lower display unit appeared; displaying low oil pressure and low oil quantity in number 2 engine. The captain took over aircraft control; the first officer performed the engine low oil pressure non-normal checklist; followed by the engine failure/shutdown non-normal checklist; shutting down number 2 engine. The third pilot in the jumpseat assisted with crew duties and radios. The event happened near a major airport and the crew diverted. An overweight landing occurred. The number 2 engine was shutdown due to low oil pressure. The overweight landing occurred as a result of the engine failure.
