Narrative:

In cruise flight about 30 min away from destination we got a low oil pressure warning message on the #1 engine. The captain handed the controls to the me and then ran the QRH. The captain declared an emergency as ATC was giving us decent instructions. We landed safely with no other issues. The more we throttled the #1 engine the lower the oil pressure got. We had to fly with one engine on a significantly lower power setting.
