Normal takeoff and climb but at acceleration height of 2500 AGL Oil pressure on left engine went to zero. We advised Departure Control that we needed to return to the airport. We received vectors to final. During the vectors we attempted to complete QRH (Quick Reference Handbook) procedure; but there was not sufficient time to complete the procedure. We elected to leave the left engine running at flight idle until short final. Landing and taxi to the ramp was normal. The engine oil temperature remained normal throughout the flight.
[Report narrative contained no additional information.]
EMB120 flight crew reported a loss of oil pressure on the left engine on departure. The flight returned to the airport uneventfully.
