Climbing out thru 14;000 ft. noticed engine #2 oil pressure in amber band. Oil pressure and quantity was dropping rapidly. Ran the 'Engine Low Oil Pressure' checklist followed by 'Engine Failure or Shutdown' checklist. No overweight landing. [Requested priority handling]. Normal approach and landing. Equipment met the aircraft after taxiing clear of runway. After getting the all clear from them we taxied to the gate and got tugged in. Called maintenance and dispatch. Spoke with Chief Pilot and maintenance. Made two maintenance entries. All went great.
