Narrative:

Red 'right engine oil pressure' message and associated aural warning at FL350 while flying atl-ZZZ. Referring to the QRH checklist, we reduced the right engine to idle, but elected not to shut it down as the oil pressure was now mostly in the green, and rose gradually as we descended. Conferred with our dispatcher and agreed that ZZZ1 was our best available alternate. This was my first ever in-flight emergency. The entire process was comfortingly familiar, the same thing we do every 6 months in the simulator. We declared an emergency and ATC directed us straight to the runway at ZZZ1. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the right engine pressure warning was caused by a 7TH stage bleed line failure. The reporter said the function of the failed line was to pressurize the engine oil system.

Title: A CRJ-200 IN CRUISE AT FL350 DECLARED AN EMER AND DIVERTED DUE TO A RED 'R ENG OIL PRESSURE' EICAS MESSAGE.

Narrative: RED 'R ENG OIL PRESSURE' MESSAGE AND ASSOCIATED AURAL WARNING AT FL350 WHILE FLYING ATL-ZZZ. REFERRING TO THE QRH CHKLIST, WE REDUCED THE R ENG TO IDLE, BUT ELECTED NOT TO SHUT IT DOWN AS THE OIL PRESSURE WAS NOW MOSTLY IN THE GREEN, AND ROSE GRADUALLY AS WE DSNDED. CONFERRED WITH OUR DISPATCHER AND AGREED THAT ZZZ1 WAS OUR BEST AVAILABLE ALTERNATE. THIS WAS MY FIRST EVER INFLT EMER. THE ENTIRE PROCESS WAS COMFORTINGLY FAMILIAR, THE SAME THING WE DO EVERY 6 MONTHS IN THE SIMULATOR. WE DECLARED AN EMER AND ATC DIRECTED US STRAIGHT TO THE RWY AT ZZZ1. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THE R ENG PRESSURE WARNING WAS CAUSED BY A 7TH STAGE BLEED LINE FAILURE. THE RPTR SAID THE FUNCTION OF THE FAILED LINE WAS TO PRESSURIZE THE ENG OIL SYS.
