Narrative:
At cruise FL350, just southeast of lbl VOR, we experienced a loss of oil pressure on #1 engine. We reduced throttle to idle and proceeded with irregular checklist for engine low oil pressure and followed that with the in-flight engine shutdown checklist. After shutting down engine, we advised ATC, declared an emergency, advised dispatch and diverted into ama without further incident.
