Are state tax withholdings based on where you live or work?

My husband works for an oilfield company here in New Mexico. Yet, one of the company's rig's, that he works on, is located in Colorado. I was looking over his newest paycheck stub and noticed that state taxes are being withheld from both states! Is this right? I thought that state tax withholding is based on where you live. Am I wrong?
