Narrative:
While climbing through FL350; a right engine 'low oil pressure' light illuminated. We immediately stopped our climb and got out the checklist. Our cockpit indications were low engine oil pressure and zero oil quantity. The captain declared an emergency and we were cleared a descent and direct to ZZZ; which was 75 miles straight ahead. The captain completed all checklist items and shut down the right engine. I continued to dscnd for landing while the captain gave the information items to the #1. The WX was clear and almost unlimited visibility. About 20 miles out; the captain took control of the aircraft for an uneventful landing on runway xx at ZZZ. Arff trucks met the aircraft after we cleared the runway; and found nothing abnormal outside the aircraft. When then taxied to the ramp and deplaned the passenger through the aft stairway.
