Narrative:
On random north atlantic track right engine oil quantity began to decrease to zero. After 5 minutes the right engine oil pressure began dropping from normal. We declared an emergency; with ATC; and then flew a 15 miles offset; left of track; then began a descent and proceeded to our enroute alternate ETOPS diversion airport. We retarded the right engine to idle and left the right engine in idle for approximately one hour and forty minutes until we landed and shut the engine off. We landed using single engine procedures and the approach and landing was uneventful. Engine oil pressure remained stable in lower green band; 23-24; and oil temperature remained in the green band through out the diversion flight.right engine had an oil leak and we needed to land as soon as possible.
