Narrative:
During the takeoff roll above 80 KTS at ZZZ1; we noticed the right oil pressure flashing between 55-56 psi; with no other associated indications or lights and we continued the takeoff. Normal indications continued up to 1000 ft; with the exception of the occasional flashing 56 psi on the engine display panel; when we heard a loud bang; shudder and immediate yaw to the right. First officer was the PF and at hat point took over ATC communications. Conditions were VFR and dawn; engine clean-up for runway xr was 850 ft MSL. First officer leveled off the airplane as the climb stopped from the loss of thrust. Engine instruments indicated the right engine was windmilling but no longer putting out thrust. No fire indications; no lights; warning; nor high egt were indicated. Flight attendants immediately called because of the bang and associated flash. The captain talked to them on interphone and let them know that we expected to return. First officer then confirmed with ATC a return to the field; declared an emergency; and asked for crash fire rescue equipment and vectors to the X runways. The tower controller acknowledged; issued 2000 ft and a turn for runway xl; since runway xr might have FOD from our engine. The captain (pilot monitoring) completed the engine failure/in-flight shutdown checklist for an immediate landing. At this point; the crew discussed the condition of the engine with relation to the associated bang without any further damage signals like fire or high temperature. We stayed with engine shutdown but did not pull the fire handle. The overweight landing (gross weight 141K pounds) was perfectly located and extremely smooth. On the rollout; we coordination with tower to use the last high speed exit. The crash fire rescue equipment vehicles met us there. Following a good survey of the engine and coordination with operations; we came back to the gate with the crash fire rescue equipment vehicles in escort. All passenger deplaned uneventfully and graciously.

Title: AN MD83 ENG FAILED ON TKOF. AN EMER WAS DECLARED AND THE FLT RETURNED TO THE DEP ARPT.
Narrative: DURING THE TKOF ROLL ABOVE 80 KTS AT ZZZ1; WE NOTICED THE R OIL PRESSURE FLASHING BTWN 55-56 PSI; WITH NO OTHER ASSOCIATED INDICATIONS OR LIGHTS AND WE CONTINUED THE TKOF. NORMAL INDICATIONS CONTINUED UP TO 1000 FT; WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE OCCASIONAL FLASHING 56 PSI ON THE ENG DISPLAY PANEL; WHEN WE HEARD A LOUD BANG; SHUDDER AND IMMEDIATE YAW TO THE R. FO WAS THE PF AND AT HAT POINT TOOK OVER ATC COMS. CONDITIONS WERE VFR AND DAWN; ENG CLEAN-UP FOR RWY XR WAS 850 FT MSL. FO LEVELED OFF THE AIRPLANE AS THE CLB STOPPED FROM THE LOSS OF THRUST. ENG INSTS INDICATED THE R ENG WAS WINDMILLING BUT NO LONGER PUTTING OUT THRUST. NO FIRE INDICATIONS; NO LIGHTS; WARNING; NOR HIGH EGT WERE INDICATED. FLT ATTENDANTS IMMEDIATELY CALLED BECAUSE OF THE BANG AND ASSOCIATED FLASH. THE CAPT TALKED TO THEM ON INTERPHONE AND LET THEM KNOW THAT WE EXPECTED TO RETURN. FO THEN CONFIRMED WITH ATC A RETURN TO THE FIELD; DECLARED AN EMER; AND ASKED FOR CFR AND VECTORS TO THE X RWYS. THE TWR CTLR ACKNOWLEDGED; ISSUED 2000 FT AND A TURN FOR RWY XL; SINCE RWY XR MIGHT HAVE FOD FROM OUR ENG. THE CAPT (PLT MONITORING) COMPLETED THE ENG FAILURE/INFLT SHUTDOWN CHKLIST FOR AN IMMEDIATE LNDG. AT THIS POINT; THE CREW DISCUSSED THE CONDITION OF THE ENG WITH RELATION TO THE ASSOCIATED BANG WITHOUT ANY FURTHER DAMAGE SIGNALS LIKE FIRE OR HIGH TEMP. WE STAYED WITH ENG SHUTDOWN BUT DID NOT PULL THE FIRE HANDLE. THE OVERWT LNDG (GROSS WT 141K LBS) WAS PERFECTLY LOCATED AND EXTREMELY SMOOTH. ON THE ROLLOUT; WE COORD WITH TWR TO USE THE LAST HIGH SPD EXIT. THE CFR VEHICLES MET US THERE. FOLLOWING A GOOD SURVEY OF THE ENG AND COORD WITH OPS; WE CAME BACK TO THE GATE WITH THE CFR VEHICLES IN ESCORT. ALL PAX DEPLANED UNEVENTFULLY AND GRACIOUSLY.
