Narrative:
While in cruise flight at FL300 we received the red cas message 'right engine oil pressure' and aural 'engine oil'. A quick scan showed the red message and low oil pressure of approximately 20 psi. We ran the appropriate QRH procedures which directed us to an intentional engine shutdown. As we were securing the right engine ATC had called us for a frequency change. I informed him that we were shutting down an engine; needed to declare an emergency; would like FL240 and wanted to go direct to a divert airport for landing. After completing the appropriate QRH procedures; we notified the flight attendant of the emergency items and I personally notified the passengers of our situation. We then set up for an ILS to the airport. We had the airport 'roll' all emergency equipment as a precaution and contacted operations. We then accomplished the single engine landing procedures as per QRH and landed accordingly and uneventfully. Upon landing crash fire rescue equipment said engine appeared normal from the outside and we taxied under our own power to the gate.
