A320 flight crew reported the R Engine on was shutdown inflight because of a loss of oil quantity and pressure. The pilots successfully diverted to a nearby airport.
Upon climbout through 18;000 ft. we received an ECAM for LS tuning disagree. When following the Flight Crew Operations Manual (FCOM) procedure for the disagreement through FL210 we got an Adivsory indication flashing on the E/WD. The ENG page was up on the SD and QTY was flashing. The oil quantity was quickly decreasing from 3 qts. Within a few seconds while looking up the ECAM Advisory for oil quantity; I started noticing the oil pressure had decreased from 44 psi then started fluctuating from 30 psi to 25 psi and then started quickly dropping. The oil quantity indications had dropped and amber xx's replaced the indication. Within a few seconds the oil pressure dropped below red line and the Master Warning with repetitive chime came on. ECAM ENG 2 Low Oil PR appeared. We then proceeded to follow the ECAM actions. The ECAM directed us to shut down ENG 2. We then went through each secondary failure listed with the engine shutdown. After the engine was secured and preliminary ECAM actions were completed we stopped ECAM; leveled off at our assigned altitude of FL230 and I contacted ATC [requesting priority handling] due to having to shut down ENG 2. I requested to divert to ZZZ due to the facilities available and the longer runways. While talking to ATC the First Officer (FO) talked to the lead Flight Attendant (FA). ATC directed us to fly heading 150 and descend to 13;000 ft. We then ran the approach checklist and set the plane up for approach into ZZZ. The FO ran the landing performance for single engine Runway XXC. I requested Runway XXC due to the length of the runway. While I was flying and talking to ATC the FO was going through the FCOM procedure for ENG Low Oil PR ECAM. I made an announcement to the passengers that we had to shutdown the engine due to a mechanical issue and were diverting to ZZZ. I asked the passengers to remain seated and we would update them once we landed in ZZZ. I requested vectors for the RNAV XXC. While descending; the FO continued going through the overweight landing checklist and then the single engine straight in approach checklist. After the checklist were completed; we requested vectors to the approach. We landed normally with no issues and then taxied off the runway under our own power. We performed the after landing checklist and turned on the brake fans as instructed by the overweight landing checklist. I stopped on the taxiway just clear of the runway and emergency personnel drove around the aircraft and checked the #2 engine. The emergency personnel reported back that the #2 engine was leaking fluid. We were then instructed by ground to taxi into the ramp area and they wanted us to go to Gate XXX.
Shortly after passing FL180 we received NAV LS Disagree ECAM. After that was resolved Advisory was flashing and our engine oil quantity indicator was flashing. We began loosing quantity and pressure then the ECAM Eng 2 Oil Low Pressure displayed along with the master warning and received repetitive chimes. We followed the ECAM instructions which instructed us to shutdown the engine. After running the ECAM we followed the Flight Crew Operations Manual (FCOM) procedures for ENG 1(2) OIL LO PR followed by ENG 1(2) SHUT DOWN; QRH One Engine inoperative straight in approach and QRH Overweight landing. We [requested priority handling] early on and committed to landing at ZZZ for the longer runway due to being single engine and overweight.
