Narrative:
Climbing out passing through approx. 15;000 feet the crew noticed that the left engine oil pressure was low; just into the red on the low pressure side of the gauge. We had just turned on the engine anti-ice so we continued the climb to get out of possible icing conditions to be able to turn off the engine anti-ice system. We cleared the possible icing conditions and turned off the engine anti-ice. There was no change in the oil pressure indication. I notified ATC that we needed to return to the departure airport. The checklist for low oil pressure indication was implemented. After trouble shooting per the checklist we not able to change the low pressure indication. We then ran the precautionary shut down checklist per the guidance of the low pressure indication checklist. We then [advised] approach control and performed a normal single engine landing with no other issues.
