At approximately 500 feet AGL after departure; we received an 'R ENG Oil Press' Master Warning message just as we were being handed off to departure. The CA (Captain) immediately jumped into the QRC while I checked in with Departure requesting delaying vectors while we worked through the checklist. Once the checklist was accomplished (which directed us to keep the Right throttle at idle) the CA requested a return to ZZZ. No Emergency; as we still had the throttle available to us if needed and were already receiving the level of support needed by ATC. We exchanged controls just as we were intercepting the course to ILS final to Runway 34R. Touchdown was firm at approximately 300 FPM at approximately 51;000 pounds (4;000 pounds above max landing weight). We returned to gate uneventfully and the passengers were re-booked on another flight.Cause of the event was a 'R ENG Oil Press' Master Warning with oil pressure approximately 38 psi and a need to land before something worse happened to the engine.We did what we felt was the only safe option: get it down safely before something worse happened. Delaying our arrival to burn down fuel and decrease our landing weight would have exposed us to unnecessary risk; as this would have taken approximately one hour to accomplish. I believe this was the right course of action given the proximity of a long runway; the indications we were receiving and the weather in the area.
